Dear Mythology Students,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! You guys only have THREE days until the break...MAKE THEM STRONG!
1. Students were offered the following "pocket question." Students were asked to use a 3x5 card for their response.
"Homer uses an "unconventional writing method" for The Odyssey." Assume your audience has no schema regarding The Odyssey, what does "unconventional methods" refer to, and why do you suppose Homer creates the epic in such a fashion?
2. Students continued with the storyboard regarding The Odyssey. Please communicate with someone in class, if you missed today's lesson. Students also watched two movie clips in order to guide them with visual understanding regarding some of the monsters that Odysseus faces in the poem.
You can watch the movie clips on your own.

Mythology Exam...January 10th, 2017
You will see approximately 25 different pieces of artwork. Each drawing, painting, sketch, statue, etc. pertains to the areas of mythology we have discussed this semester. I will ask you specific questions about each overhead. For example, you may be asked to “identify the myth illustrated” or “identify the god,” or “explain what is taking place in the image, “ etc. The most important question that you will be asked is the following: What is the true meaning behind this myth? Explain your response. The best way to completely prepare for your exam, is to go through each question below, as some aspect will appear on the test. In addition, you will be given vocabulary words given in context. If you complete the review below then 10 points will be added to your final exam score.
You may use ONE SIDE of a 3x5 card to assist you with some aspects that you might find difficult to recall. This is not required, but it's a nice form of “insurance.” You are not penalized if you don't make the card, but if you need it, and you made it, then you can use it.
One of my goals as your teacher is for you to apply what we have learned in class to the “real world.” So, if you are watching a film, listening to music spending time in a museum, reading a book, etc, and you see/hear references to mythology, you can identify them without hesitation. All of your exams will be application in nature.

In addition, you must be aware of relationships that the gods have with each other, and the result(s) of these associations. (Example: Poseidon is disrespectful towards Athena because her gift was chosen over his. Consequently, Medusa as we know her is created. (This, of course, is the abbreviated version).
