Today in class we acted out the stories of Otus and Ephialtes and Daedalus. You will need to add a summary of each to your glossary 2. Also, we discussed the importance the ancient Greek's placed on avoiding excesses, which inspires the following assignment:
Write a story (3/4 to one page) in which you express the importance of moderation.
First, create 3 characters.
Then, choose an activity
Your first paragraph will show your first character doing too much of your chosen activity and therefore, suffering as a result.
Your second paragraph will show your second character doing too little of your chosen activity, and therefore suffering as a result.
Your third paragraph will show your third character doing just the right amount of this activity, and therefore experiencing very happy results.
If EVERYONE in your polis has this assignments done on Tuesday, you will receive a polis bonus in addition to your individual bonus.
Welcome to Mythology!
Mythology is a semester long English course that can earn students a .5 literature credit. Students embark on a journey that takes them back to the Mythology of ancient Greece and Rome and to a lesser extent that of Northern Europe. Along the way, students compete in a class-wide simulation to determine if they can achieve ancient supremacy.
