Quiz; Mythology Close Reading

First thing in class today, students took a Quiz over the Introduction, and Ch. 1, of Mythology. Students were...less than pleased about this. Please see me to make this up, if you were absent today (looking at you, 6th period).

Then, I shared a powerpoint with students about how to rigorously read (ideally with more comprehension success) Mythology

This is a link to the notes I shared on the .pptx

Also I shared small Annotation-Guide squares for Mythology - Click the image below for the link:
