Hello my little Bambis'. Now that we have successfully completed our anthologies..(Kudos to all of you who were brave enough to muster up the courage to perform them) We can embark on a lovely journey into mythology. This is one of my favorite units to teach. You will be doing alot of writing (as always) but we will also be completing a variety of projects on the subject as well. I am posting various links on the blog this week in order to facilitate learning. Your first paper on the subject will be due on Wednesday for 5th period and Thursday for 2nd period. You will be completing (first draft) of a comparative analysis paper. Do not be scared all that means is you will be writing a formal compare and contrast paper. Below you will find a link to Ovid's Metamorphoses. These are the same myths we have read in class but from a differerent writer's perspective. Read Ovid's versions carefully.Pick one of the myths to write your paper on. Regardless you are responsible for reading all of the myths. Take brainstorming notes comparing the two different versions. That will be the framework for your paper. Create an outline to organize your thoughts then write the paper which should run anywhere from 2-3 pages typed. I am also placing a link on step by step instructions on how to write a comparitive analysis (I will review in class as well)
Here are your links:
