Food For Thoughts (10 points) - 5 points each
- Some people would say there is an "oversaturation" of steampunk in mainstream culture today. Do you think this is the case? Why or why not?

Extra Credit Part 1 (24 points max)
Choose ONE (1) of the following:
A) A Steampunk Short Story - Well, here's an opportunity to write as any! If you've got some ideas on the works and want to try your hand at writing a steampunk-related short story, here's your chance. Write about automatons and airships, or mad scientists and lady adventurers. Put the setting in a floating city, or underwater empire, or maybe even early 19th-century Russia! The universe is the limit. 250 words minimum.
B) DIY Steampunk - Here's another crafting opportunity! Pick a steampunk medium and do something along the lines of that medium. Do you want to bake cupcakes reminiscent of a steampunk style? Or sketch something steampunk-related? Anything craftsy would do! Remember to take a picture of what you did, or tell me your experience in trying to make it.
C) Multitude of Media - I have listed many types of media and fiction throughout the lessons. Take one of the media or fiction from the lessons and watch/play/read it. Tell me what you think of it, or depict something from it using an art style. If you'd rather pick something else, feel free to do so! Minimum 200 words for written stuff.
Please make sure to upload your pictures on an image site like Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic, as I will not be opening attachments.
