Great work everyone!
Thank you to everyone who has been turning in their work consistently. Thank you to those of you who were late-- but fixed it. :) Class Averages Period 1: 86.43%!! Period 3: 87.46%!! From now on your Greek book is silent reading. Take notes on your own-- mostly your choice-- though I will give you tips from time to time. Due at the end of the book. One page (front and back or two pages) and at least 6 cited quotes. Myth Vocab. Quiz Tuesday Nature Myth Quiz: Thursday
Greek Mythology can be fun, scary, exciting, thought provoking, frustrating...and everything else! But as the foundation of the Western World, it not only shows us more about our society and how we came to be, its deep psychological questions teach us more about ourselves and being human, too. Thank you for helping to chose our new book Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths! This will be both a class book and a silent reading book. Bring it everyday to read with us and to read during silent reading times. Take notes with the handouts, Study Guide and 4 Reasons Why, and be prepared for quizzes.
Thursday:
Reminders
We all have dreams. Our lives revolve around the things we love, the people who support us, and possibilities of the future, but often there is a cost. We don't always achieve because we are scared, because we are unsupported, or because of some societal or physical issue we struggle with daily. That is exactly what Langston Hughes poem, "As I Grew Older" expresses for all of us. As we read deeply, we can see the challenges he faced and see ourselves in his mirror. What are your walls? And how will you break through?
