Due Monday, September 8, along with your supplies and Declaration of Understanding and Acceptance (syllabus document)
Tasks:
1. Read through the information contained in the links located on the right hand side of this blog, under the category Greek Myth Resources
2. Write one literal, one interpretive, and one applied question for two of the stories you read (you still have to read all of the stories, though)
3. Writing Assignment: Based on the Greek myths you have read, evaluate the way Greek myth represents men and women. For example, both Prometheus and Io suffer because of Zeus. Io suffers because Zeus finds her physically attractive. Hera cannot trust her husband, yet Zeus fears her jealous wrath. Your response must be one full page, typed, and include evidence from more than one myth. You must discuss how men are represented, and how women are represented.
* Note: Expect a quiz on what we have learned so far some time next week.
* Note ii: There are tons of Greek mythological stories all over the web. Don't be afraid to do some research of your own!
Happy surfing,searching, and writing,
Ms. Walsh
