Brython Primer

[lorna]

At the meeting we discussed putting together a primer. Lee, Heron and I have discussed this briefly by e-mail and come up with a draft structure and decided a good way to go about completing the sections would be to share them out and put them on the blog one at a time. For the primer we need to aim for 500 - 1000 words but it should be ok to write longer pieces for the blog and cut them down for the primer if we feel like more needs to be said initially.

This is the structure. If you'd like to write a section please note which one you'd like to do on this thread. Also, if there is anything missing you'd like to see included please let me know

I'd like to do dreams and dreaming if that's ok?

[Heron]

I'd be happy to have a crack at 'Mythological/literay' and also 'Cultural', probably together.

I've just updated this to add rites of passage - something we'd totally forgotten about!

And added giants as a section too.

Plus updated what's been done. I think we worked through some of this on the blog scheduling, but it got buried. As we'll be talking about this at the Brython meet-up I'll post it in that section so we can all print a copy to discuss.
