What did we do in class today?
- We reviewed the myths of "Prometheus," "Pandora" and "Demeter and Persephone."
- Students were given their "Take-Home" quiz
- Journal Entries were explained, and students completed their first journal entry entitled "Hope." I asked everyone to respond to the following quote by Freidrich Neiche.
"Hope in reality is the most vile of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of men."
This quote is relevant to the myth of "Pandora."
- We then read the version of "Arachne" in your textbook, and students were introduced to "Rosie."
