Quiz Tomorrow: Study Session

Mrs. Syes hosted a rather well-attended study session over Mythology today after school:

No one got injured. I think.

The focus was basically "Mythology So Far". There was a Kahoot (Shout out to Kahoot Champion BOB Q!). Mrs. Syes then answered, with broad and full explanation, questions donated anonymously by Freshmen in attendance.

Study Tips For The Quiz:

• Refresh your knowledge of the main points of Hamilton's Introduction. Why does Greek mythology matter? What does it mean for us?
• Know the Big 12 (Olympian Gods and Goddesses). Like, really know them. We've been reading myths for a couple weeks - you should know these gods like the back of your hand.
• Here's a helpful sheet that you should've already filled out in class.
• Seriously, you should know all of the information in the above doc by now.
• 
  
• Be familiar with the important figures and stories from the Creation chapter.
• Know how to complete a (high-quality, thorough) Dialectical Journal entry
• Here's a re-link to the Powerpoint that explains this.
• Come prepared to demonstrate knowledge & understanding of the Trojan War, as well as the Fall of Troy (Chapters 13 and 14 in Mythology)
• Questions might be drawn from the chapters, the in-class lectures (see below for powerpoints), the documentary from today, or any combination thereof.

Finally, here is a pic of some of my favorite student questions from this afternoon:
