Welcome to the Jungle.....

Dear Mythology Students,
I welcome you to the land of gods and goddesses, where logic does not exist. Only the idea that some where in the slime of cosmic confusion order becomes real. Was that poetic? TRANSLATION: Prepare yourself to learn ancient ideas and concepts that are bizarre; yet still relevant and valid in modern times. I welcome you to Mythology.

HOMEWORK for Monday, August 30th:
1. Disclosure Document
2. Supplies with USB drive, 3x5 cards, and markers (remember that the bandage for your mask is not required until I give you further instructions)
3. "What is a Classic? "
4. "Where I Stand/Introduction" (this assignment is due on Wed., Sept 1st.)

I look forward to working with you this year.
Cheers,
Crampton
