How did today go?

I have been told that today went pretty well. I was a bit concerend about the COWS without my being there, but I heard it went off rather well. True?

So, how did today go? Does anyone have a file of what they have done so far?

Your homework is to answer these questions as comments. I will be checking periodically.

Cortez The Killer

Hey folks!

First, it would be nice for each of you to read the comments from the last post. Many of your classmates said wonderful things about your work, and I am sure you would love to see that!

Now for tonight. You could go HERE and proceed through the Moodle task, if you are familiar with Moodle and can navigate through it. If so, you should begin with the "Cortez" link, and then proceed to "Everyone Loves Music," and then "Post a Song Comment", and lastly "Now Read This."

If you can't you can listen to the song HERE. Then, in a comment on this blog, answer the following:

Is Neil Young's charaterization of the Aztecs accurate? If so why, if not, why not?

Enjoy!~
