Pace yourself: the sooner you complete each requirement, the better for you, with more time available to prepare for other class assignments and projects. You have till the deadline in the syllabus, but once that's past those options are off the table. For Essay #1, respond to one of the prompts offered before the due date of 2-24-19. Submit under Assignments/Essay #1. See grading rubric and file upload protocol there for further guidelines. . . Here's this week's option, on The Mystery of Stonehenge. Dr. Gerald Hawkins, in his book Stonehenge Decoded (adapted into the video that we watched, The Mystery of Stonehenge), argues a particular interpretation of the megalith. In the end, therefore, what is the mystery of Stonehenge? What is Hawkins' idea and what conflicting opinions were also given in the program? Give me three instances of each, representing his argument and the opposing views of Patrick Moore, Richard Atkinson, Glyn Daniels, and/or anyone else whose opinion was presented. Be sure to give a description of their status or position (computer expert, paleontologist, etc.). Format: 3 pages (1000 word count), 1” margins, double-spaced, 10/12 pt. type.

Stay on topic, use an effective structure that carefully guides your reader from one idea to the next, and edit thoroughly so that sentences are readable and appropriate for an academic audience. 1.9: Documentary - "The Mystery of Stonehenge" (VIEW) Follow the link to watch the vintage documentary The Mystery of Stonehenge. To view it, you'll visit Clonehenge! This website is dedicated to all manner of representations of the megalith (and is an entertaining read, though that's not required). Thanks to the antiquarian Pete Glastonbury, you can watch the complete program, in several parts. Just scroll down to the series of eight Youtube clips at the very bottom. Be prepared for a bit of a time warp; the CBS documentary dates from the mid-1960s, so everyone's wearing suits and skirts and the professors look like they teach at Hogwarts. And some references, cultural and political, may seem a little dated. But it's one of the few programs to discuss in detail this particular interpretation/explanation of the celebrated megalith. Take notes to prepare for exam questions and also for the optional essay. After viewing, you should be able to summarize the program's main point, opposing points of view, and conclusion. https://clonehenge.com/2010/03/01/building-stonehenge-at-stonehenge-a-trilithon-model/ Also here in 2 parts, with good image but occasionally poor sound (warbly, but mostly on the music not the dialogue): https://archive.org/details/themysteryofstonehenge/themysteryofstonehenge/themysteryofstonehengereel2.move
