Updates

Our past few assignments are based on the story of Theseus and have been done during class time. For the first part of the story, we produced a story map, and for the second part, we created a "life of Theseus" character sheet.

If you missed these days, here's what you need to do for make up:

For 11/16: Read from the beginning of Theseus up to his arrival in Crete. Create a 10 event timeline that describes his journey there. You should include details about the test involving the rock, and an explanation of what Theseus does to each bandit.

For 11/18: Finish reading the story of Theseus. Write down character details about: The Minotaur (how he dies), Aegeus (how he dies), what Theseus is like as King, Ariadne, Hippolyta, Pirithous, Hippolytus, and Phaedra.

Make sure you turn these in when you return.

Due 11/16

Due Thursday, November 12

Hero stories are due today! Your polis will receive a POLIS BONUS if everyone has their hero stories completed and ready to turn in.

Also, make sure you have your completed Perseus notes with you so we can use them for our in-class activity.

Due Monday, November 9th

There is no homework due; however, some of you still owe me assignments from the chapter on Jason and/or your Perseus questions from the previous post.

Remember: your Hero story is due on Thursday (11/12), so you should be making progress on this so that you'll have it done on its due date.
