We'll complete our final tomorrow.

Homework Assignment Reminder for Myth Barbies

3. Look at the grading requirements on page 13 now.
4. Hand that sheet in to me at this time, since you’ve already done the Facebook page.
Mortal Heroes—Take notes, and make sure you answer these five questions in your notes:
1. How are they different from immortals?
2. What did they do that made them heroes in the eyes of the Greeks?
3. What motivated them to do these things?
4. Which gods or goddesses helped them? Why?
5. Which gods or goddesses harmed them? Why?
a. Achilles—Regan
b. Atalanta—Cammy
c. Hercules—Nate
d. Jason—Gavin
e. Odysseus—Jared
f. Perseus—Abby
g. Theseus—Alex M.
6. No chatting between presentations—THINK about what you just heard, and write down one connection you see between this character, and something you already knew about Greek Mythology. Write “Connection:”, and then state your connection in a sentence. I’ll be looking for this in your notes.
