Friday's Anthro Classes

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Introduction to Anthropology:

ATTN: prue_h and studentwillow

CUMULATIVE:
futurebucs_star [1]
harried_potter [2]
positive_angel [1]
*prue_h [4]*
sharon_valerii [1]
*studentwillow [3]*

Note: Neither of you made up your classes, so unfortunately you will have to sit through detention. Willow, I know you handed in your homework, but you didn't make up your class, and I have to keep my rules up. But after detention, both of you will start with zero absences again.

ATTN: prue_h

CUMULATIVE:
death_n_binky [1]
futurebucs_star [1]
harried_potter [2]
*prue_h [4]*
suzotchka [2]

Note: Prue, you are not only missing classes, you haven't been handing in your homework either. Now, if you are sitting through this detention, I won't give you another detention for not handing in their homework. I will just have the detention count for both things and you'll go back to zero. But please let me know if you're still alive and able to come to class soon.

That done, let's get to business. I think you all really liked the sex lesson. I don't blame you! But now we must move on, sadly, to bigger and not-so-better things. Like, language. This includes both vocal and body language. This ties in with my linguistics course, but how does language and culture mesh? For this, we're going to listen to different languages and compare them with the cultures that they're from.

Homework: Do your reading and hand in the questions at the end of the chapter (Chapter 3). (OOC: Obviously you just need to write *hands in homework* for this one, since I ain't givin' you no questions :P)

Egyptian Archaeology:

ATTN: missromana

CUMULATIVE:
alchemic_bean [1]

Note: You need to make up class ASAP. If you do not, I will be forced to give you detention next week.


CUMULATIVE:
apocalypsesoon [1]
lisacuddy [1]
missromana [3]
youngest_sister [1]


So, guess what we're doing today? Nope, no grave goods! We're looking at some pyramids and the chambers inside him. Isn't this just fun?

Homework: Design your own pyramid, complete with different chambers of funness. Nothing too complex, just a few rooms.

Why are pyramids pyramid-shaped?

That is a good question.

The shape actually had no symbolic significance that we know of, but simply was the right shape to endure earthquakes and were able to reach a greater height than rectangles.
