2/12 - Origin Myths: Rome and Greece

We started today's class by finishing the discussion we started yesterday from the jigsaw questions that people were sharing out on from the Parallel Myths reading.

From here, we transitioned to looking at the first of the origin myths which we will be looking at as part of a series of origin myths. In looking at these myths/legends we will break the story into its significant parts using the creation stories note sheet. This sheet is designed to be sort of like one of those butcher diagrams for livestock that help you identify (and then actually get into) the important meaty parts of a story/cow.

The creation story note sheet is like this, except for stories and not cows

Everyone had the rest of the period to read the Greek/Roman creation story and complete the creation stories note sheet. While people read the stories, I handed out copies of our myth book that people can keep at home for the duration of the course (we have other copies of the book that we can keep in class so that people don't have to bring them back and forth from home and school).

Handouts:
Greece/Rome Creation Story
Creation story note sheet
Creation story note sheet instructions


Homework:

If you did not finish reading the Greek/Roman creation story in class and completing the note sheet, do so for class.

Complete missing work and revise any assignment that scored below a 92.
