That’s a wrap! Thank you for (a) taking this class, and (b) not dropping this class. (Note: Especially the latter.) All of you are indelibly imprinted on my memory. If you need anything in the future, you know where to find me. 🙂

Practice

• Decide on the type of story/tale/translation you’re going to be doing for your final project, and post it in the #asoiaf channel. No need to do any translation, or anything like that: just say what kind of narrative you’ll be doing (and if you want, describe it a little in English. After all, while I’ll be seeing these, everyone else in class probably won’t!). This doesn’t necessarily lock you into a narrative, by the way; you can change your mind. This is just to make sure you’re thinking about it, as it’s the largest as yet unstarted portion of your final project.

Monday
Dash, Raizada

Tuesday
Kiana, Phoebe

Practice

• Share one of your words in our #orthography channel! You can just write it by hand and upload a picture, then add in text on Slack how the word is pronounced, and what it means. (Note: The word you share should be at least two syllables long. No adpositions, clitics, or particles!)

Mastery

• MA10: the orthography of your language

• Keep thinking about and working on your final project.
