Welcome Back! Q3

After attendance and a stretch, I handed back to students some leftover work from Q2.

Then I introduced our next educational pursuit: Greek Mythology & The Odyssey. Students don't have to purchase either text -- The Odyssey is in the Literature book (turquoise). And we're not reading Edith Hamilton's Mythology cover to cover, just choosing a small selection of myths to focus on.

Finally, to dip our toes back into the waters of having school, and class, again, students read a short story based on a Greek myth: "Antaeus".

Here is a link to the story itself.

I also gave students a short collection of questions that accompany the story, and on the reverse, an exercise in sentence combining.

Here is a link to the questions.

And here is a link to the sentence combining activity.

HW:

• Finish the "Antaeus" questions
• Complete the Sentence Combining activity
• Also: 7th period students got a permission slip that is due TOMORROW to 1st period teachers.

It's good to be back.
