Class Activity
Posted a introductory blog with a picture and a short bio of ourselves.

Went over the requirements of this class and how we all want class to run:

• Maybe a discussion of the readings on Mondays
• Writing lab on Wednesdays
• Quiz on mechanics according to MLA 8th Edition

Went over what pieces that we were interested in reading more into this semester:

• Kumulipo
• Hiʻiakaikapoliopele
• Chants: 5 or so, learn how to makawalu
• Kamakau - Ruling Chiefs
• The story of ʻUmi pg. 22 - 168
• The Healers (can be purchased at Nā Mea Hawaiʻi at Ward)
• Works from contemporary Hawaiian writers

• MLA Handbook 8th Edition

PAPERS:

3 Papers - 5 pages, 5 pages, 6 pages...(total 16 pages required for a WI class)

One paper after reading Kumulipo and Hiʻiakaikapoliopele, one after Ruling Chiefs, and one after reading The Healers and the works from other contemporary Hawaiian writers.

Oral Presentations:

Can be informal. Maybe after each paper? Just a sharing of ideas of your paper. 

Next Steps

Read pages 1-24 of Kumulipo. (Wā 1-8)

NOTE TO KUMU:

Please transfer all videos and ppt. slides to new blog. Post quiz to Laulima.
