3/14: good timing

...for the Homeric Hymns in the myth class.  We've been in the difficult stretch before spring break, so the hymns have been a relief.  There are a lot of interesting ideas to discuss without the reading being too difficult or taxing.  Today was our last hymn, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes.  I tried a different way of setting up the conversation, and I think it worked well.  If someone had been observing today, they wouldn't have thought the students were as worn out as they are.
