Today we finally finished up Demeter/Dionysus presentations. If you do not have 8 summaries from these presentations, you may need to come in and borrow summary notes.
We also began work on the Hades Project: a summary of a place! Here is the information about it. We will be handing them in after some worktime on Friday.
Hades Assignment
Read the information on Hades (the underworld) with a partner.
BB:42-44
LB: 39-40
Create a summary of what you find out about Hades. As a summary of a place, it should be focused on:
• Important places and their purpose
• People associated with these locations
• Locations of these places in a logical way
Using this summary, create a visual representation (map) of Hades as the Greeks envisioned it.
To be considered complete, it must contain the following concepts:
o Tartarus/Erebus
o The Rivers: Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, Styx, and Lethe
o Charon
o Gates of Entry
o Cerberus
o Judges: Rhadamanthus, Minos, Aeacus
o Pluto’s Palace
All of these concepts must be labeled and explained on your map!
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.
