March 3- March 9

This week was very interesting. Watching the presentations for the myth assignments were very enlightening. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend class on Monday, but the presentations that I saw on Wednesday were quite impressive. My group's presetation on the male divine was good, I think the way that we planned the presentation to look wasn't how it actually... looked. We had a really beautiful Prezi presentation prepared and the morning off, it wouldn't work when we tried it in class. This took up a lot of our preparation time and shook me up a bit. I was really disappointed in my portion of the presentation because I forgot to explain almost half of my research. I thought that we were going to be running short on time so I ran through my cue cards very briefly and forgot to explain the significance of the different representations of the male divine. :(. But my group gave a lot of solid information to the class and the skit portion was hilarious.

The other groups, I think, really utilized different forms of media in their presentations. They used PowerPoint, online graphics, video clips, etc. They did a great job getting the class involved in their presentations in a way that was equally entertaining and educational. I am feeling a little insecure about our final grade but I know that we did our best

February 24-March 2

This week, we focused on our Myth Presentation projects. After finishing reading the book, my group decided that we would present on the male divine archetype that is present in mythology. The research for this project was really fun and my group has a lot of creativity, which I lack. My portion of the research consists of explaining the different representations of the make divine in mythology. A few examples consist of the father/son relationship, the trickster, the shaman, and the sacrificial son. What I've found from the text has peaked my interest in the topic and I'm looking forward to analyzing these personas. My group has expressed their desire to have a skit in our presentation which sounds like a fun idea. I don't know if I will be involved in that part of the presentation, but I'm definitely on board to have that be a class participation portion of our assignment.
