Your Worldview HUM 8

Your Worldview project deadline has been extended to Monday, October 7. You are still very welcome to hand in your project tomorrow (the original deadline) if you are prepared.

Do not forget you are expected to hand in a 7 paragraph explanation each element and how they contribute to your worldview, as well as a representation.  Your representation can follow one of the ideas on the handout, or be your own, but you must have checked with me beforehand. A stack of images will not be acceptable, whereas a scrapbook (like the idea on the handout) to place these images into a broader context of your worldview would be.

Have fun on Riverwatch Friday!
