HOMEWORK for Monday
· Pick up from sign-in table:
Read and annotate Professor Foster’s, “It’s Greek to Me”
· Vocab War
· Quizlet quizzes will
be MONDAY as well—too much going on today!
Note: Wherever we are in presentations, at 2:45 we
will wrap it up and play WHO AM I?
Procedure
1.
I will tape a card with a myth
figure’s name on it to your back. You
will find a person who’s free, and you will ask, “Who am I?”
2.
Turn around so the person can see your
back. J
3.
Person, you tell the guesser ONLY ONE
CORRECT FACT about the identity.
4.
(No, you may not say, “…rhymes with
‘Bersephone’ or ridiculous nonsense such as that.)
5.
Make ‘em work a little! The more obscure the facts, the better! Stretch their minds! J
6.
Once you guess yours, you give your
partner ONLY ONE CLUE to guess his/her.
7.
If you fail to guess correctly, you
find someone new, and you repeat the process.
8.
Return to me when you guess your card
and need a new one!
