EXTRA CREDIT & FINAL DEADLINES for your work

Helmets on!

For extra credit review all the blog entries I posted since the beginning of the semester (Jan 08). Check out other topics in the LABEL CLOUD above as well.

Review them and write a one page paper (double-spaced) or simply comment below regarding this post.

Share what you got from reviewing all this material. What you can learn from blogging on cultural anthropology and/or what you've been missing from not reading the blog and/or commenting during the course? How does blogging contribute to the learning process in a cultural anthropology course?

This was due by the last day of class. I have extended the deadline to Friday May 16th.

What do you think the image of the cat with a fruity helmut has to do with extra credit? Nothing. But it got your attention! Right?
