Dear Mythology Kids,
If you missed class, we completed the following:
1. PC #8

Welcome back! I hope you had an incredible holiday. Please record your homework, and then PULL OUT your graphic organizer for The ILIAD; it’s orange. Use the highlighter on your desk, or one of your markers, preferably red, and ANNOTATE all the events that occur before the epic actually begins. Now return to this PC (#8) The following two images are important to THE ILIAD. One occurs before the actual epic begins, and the other is an important moment within the poem. Identify which event occurs where, offer a “lay” person some schema regarding each piece of art, and then explain why an audience needs to have information about both events.
 
 
3. We then read the section from The Iliad involving the battle between Paris and Menelaus. Well done, Dallas, Taylor, Mel, and Logan!
4. In addition, we identified the gods and their chosen side, Greek or Trojan, for the war.
