Week 6 - tech tips: Canvas Profile

I changed my display name on Canvas from Jose Juan Macias to just Jose Macias and I added a profile picture. For my picture I chose one of the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli. I chose this one because it is one of the few pictures I have saved on my laptop and also because I think he looks like a badass lol.

Week 10 - Extra Credit Reading - Crash course videos - Creation myths

Cipatli , the monster whose body created the earth according to the Nahuatl legend.  This weeks videos were over creation myths which is pretty cool since one of the main parts of my storybook project includes the Nahuatl Creation Myth. These videos went into detail over some of the similarities between the two groups of creation stories which were voids vs dualities? I think that’s how to describe them. Anyways, I saw a lot of smilarities between them and the Nahuatl creation story even though mine was not mentioned in the videos. A big common concept is the creation of the world or earth from the body of a god or higher being. Which my story has.
