Beginning MYTHOLOGY

Woo, it sure was cold outside! Cold enough for our second 2-hr Delay of the year! It was pretty...cool.

Students today received the 'Before Beginning Mythology' Anticipation Guide, and were invited to share their answers.

HW:

• Read the Introduction to Classical Mythology (it's before Part One Chapter One)
• Yes, it's dry and boring. But it's important and it's necessary, so read it.
• Complete the Introduction Study Guide Questions
• The back of this document also contained the Big 12 Deity Chart. This is not for HW, but it is a document we'll need in class next week.
• Do some Membean!
• Current session lasts from 1/3-1/14

And Merry Christmas to Da Squad members!!!
