Unit 2 Writing Task
Imagine that your community is thinking of putting up a statue to celebrate either Jason, Perseus, or Theseus and the community leaders have chosen a hero that you DO NOT agree with.
You have decided to write a letter expressing your concern over their poor decision and recommend that they make a different choice. Your letter should approximately follow the format below:
Greeting/Salutation
Overview of your concern and proposal.
Evidence supporting your concern over their choice.
Evidence supporting your proposal
Summary and acknowledgments
Your name and information
In order to make your argument believable, you must use both direct (quotations) and indirect (summary) evidence for your side of the issue.
Apply what you know about strong writing from our work with structured paragraphs to help your writing.
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.
