Lesson:
We started a new unit on the Odyssey today.
We did a review of Greek myths today by acting some out. If you were absent you can get credit for drawing me a comic book version of one of the following myths:
The Fall of Troy (The Trojan Horse)
The Story of how Hermes became a god
The story of the birth of Athena
How the Trojan War was started
You can do a Google search to find any of these stories. It was a 30pt assignment so you want to be sure to make this up!! A good website to start with is:http://historylink102.com/greece2/index.htm
Homework is to read a packet I passed out in class on the background of the Odyssey (you should try to borrow it from a friend) and to get ready for a Toga Party next class. If absent, I have poster 3 characters you may choose to be on the assignments page. Pick one, dress up, and memorize your blurb. Bring in all things Greek to help us celebrate.
