Extra Credit Points

Alright! Thanks for responding and here are the extra credit points:

Eujean gets 25 EC points!
He pointed out similaities between Gilgamesh and The Great Flood, evil serpents, demons, immortality, Ishtar and Aphrodite.

Rebecca gets 10 points for the similarities between gods messing with men and 1/2 gods.

Karen gets 10 EC points for Herculean quests and polytheism.

Way to go! I'll leave the offer out there but I'll reduce the points to two (2) Extra Credit points per original similarity between Gilgamesh and any other religion.

Gilgamesh Special Offer

Well we are off to a great start in class.
I'd like to hear what you think about Gilgamesh. Each time I read it, (this is the third time for me) I am struck with the universiality of religions. So I'm offering 5 (five) extra credit points for each similarity/ comparison to a religion (any religion) which you can discuss.
So let's hear from you AP people!
The offer stands until 8/27.

Syllabus Feedback

Thanks for finding this blog and welcome. I'm hoping that we can use this blog as a forum to further the intellectual exploration we enjoy in the course.

So let's start by giving me some feedback on the syllabus.

What do you think of the pace and substance of AP World History? Is there something specifically that you would like to see covered? Is there any advice you can give to your classmates? What are your individual goals for this course and beyond?
