  1. Zach D. 4th hour


    The class started this dreary Tuesday rather slowly as Becker wondered around the room making his normal homework rounds checking to see who was worthy of his wrath for not completing the comparison matrix. After words Becker assigned everyone a page number and had the people with the same page form groups and then issued his challenge for everyone to create a visual aid to explain to the class what had happened on that page in the Greek creation myth. as the groups set to work it was so quiet that it seemed not even a mouse would stir the only noise the rustling of pencil to paper but, then the ideas started to fly and clash as the groups forged their ideas like the Cyclopes forged Zeus and his brothers their mighty weapons. As the ideas went up rather humorous portrayals of the story emerged with a rather omnomious theme appearing quite randomly. Becker called out that only a few more minutes remained and the groups hurried to finish their creations well at least hassle the one member who was for the most part. Once the class finished their quick spark notes edition of their page the class grew rather quiet limited by beckers restraint on the common themes in the story until the threat of a writing assignment got our brains into gear and questions of the story started to fly and I was left rather disappointed when my question was answered with too be continued me hating not knowing everything it is.
