What did I miss today (Monday, September 28th)?

Hello, my fine young friends!

You were given your first two vocabulary words today in class.

1. SATURNINE

2. HERMETICALLY

The following images will assist you with the definition of the words.

Hermes was known for his precision, and the fact that he only made one mistake during his occupation as "messenger to the gods."

Cronus was clearly a "dark and gloomy" individual!

Please visit with someone in class to obtain the information we discussed in relationship to these first two words. The handout that corresponds to the vocabulary words can be found in the "Make-Up Box" in the room.

B. We also reviewed the importance of "plotting" your ideas prior to writing. This information can also be obtained from the "Make-up Box" in the room. Students were given the assignment of a plotmap. This assignment is due on Friday. I am asking you to organize the events of your myth on a "map," so that when it is time for you to begin writing your myth, you will have little difficulty in doing so.

I will look forward to seeing you on Wednesday. Remember to bring the supplies you need for your mask on Wednesday and Friday.
