Recipe for a Boy or Girl

Post your journal response here following our discussion of the "recipe" to influence conception of a boy or a girl:

Metaphysical Food Properties - Homework Challenge

At this point, you have been given two prompts.

The first was started in class:  List the foods (ingredients) you had in your last meal.  Look up the meanings of each item.  What do these qualities say about your meal?  About the cultures from which these quality descriptions come?

The next challenge, especially helpful for those of you who are doing the metaphysics of food potluck:  Come up with a goal or intent for a meal.  Are you going to power up an athlete?  Prepare for a test?  Encourage someone to fall in love?  After you have decided on that direction, list what you plan to make and why you have included each ingredient.

Metaphysics of Food (WORKSHOP)

Hello!

Be prepared to, using these resources, analyze the last meal(s) you ate based on their metaphysical properties.  What potential did your breakfast hold?  What insights into history and culture do these food/spirituality links give you?

Ghost Hunt

Greetings ENGvaders,

Your Haunted Planet (https://www.hauntedplanet.com/) ghost hunt presentations are coming due!

Remember, your group has between 5 and 10 minutes to make your presentation to the class.  Make sure everyone is recognized for his/her contributions and duties and that all take part. 

This project is in your hands.  You have the freedom to shape this presentation as you see fit, as long as it communicates what is important to you about the ghost hunting experience. 

Involve your audience, express yourself and have fun!

Welcome to ENGL 1301!

Good morning, minions!

Please take the time to subscribe to this blog.  Links to electronic versions will be found here, as will some homework and class discussions.  While your written participation in discussions on the blog will not be rigorously graded for mechanics and grammar, you are expected to practice good writing and scholarly professionalism.  You are free to make mistakes and learn from those experiences, but you must always make the effort to try.

Please be ready for our group ghost hunt this Friday.  The free app will be found through Haunted Planet.
