Oct. 11 Classwork for World History - Greek Myths
For your assignment today, there are two worksheets. The first worksheet (no internet connection needed) is the one that says, "Greek Gods and Goddesses." For the second part of your assignment, you may choose one of two stories to read online. One is an adventure story about the Greek hero Jason and the Argonauts (you might hear more about him later in 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 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
The second worksheet that you have in front of you 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 at least ten.
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?
