World History resources
Resources for research:
Diana Hacker has made an excellent compilation of sources that will be useful to them; you can find them here and here.
In particular, many of you may find the Perseus Project helpful for finding primary sources; you can use it to find and read the works of writers of ancient Greece and Rome.
Finally, the History Channel is also acceptable as a creditable source.
Remember that although you may find a helpful list of sources at the bottom of Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia itself is not an acceptable source for your research paper.

World History Reading: Greek Myths
For your assignment today, you have a choice between two stories. One is the story of the Greek hero Jason and the Argonauts (you have already heard a little bit about this story from English class). The other is the story of Cupid and Psyche, a classic love story.
If you would like to read the story of Jason, click here:
http://www.mythweb.com/heroes/jason/index.html
Then click on "The Quest" and follow the blue arrows until you reach the end of the story.
If you would like to read the story of Cupid and Psyche, click here:
http://www.greekmythology.com/Books/Bulfinch/B_Chapter_11/b_chapter_11.html
You should have a worksheet in front of you which has some boxes for you to write down events in the story. (Event 1, Event 2, Event 3). However, these stories have more than three events. To make up for this, use the back of the worksheet to write down all the additional events in the story--you should have a total of about twenty.
Finally, after you have finished reading your story, write a paragraph responding to the appropriate prompt below.
Jason: What is Jason like as a hero, and what does that show about what the Greeks valued?
Cupid and Psyche: What does this story say about love?
