The Golden Fleece/Medea

My Bambis' it is so nice to be back online finally! As promised here is the link to the e-text for Medea http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/e/euripides/medea/ I am glad to see you are all enjoying our performance in class. It truly gives you a different perspective of The Golden Fleece tale from multiple perspectives. Medea becomes a person with feelings rather than a mere encyclopedic entry. Our next assignment is going to be a magical project for lack of a better word. I want us as a class to re-write the story in "modern tongue" and accompany it with a cartoon (kind of like what I did on the board with George Gray) Each of you will be assigned two pages to translate and we will put it all together and bind it in a book. I think this will be AMAZING! Our next chapters will be on Troy: Its rise and subsequent demise. As always it is a pleasure to be teaching such a brilliant group of kids such as yourselves. You should be very happy at all you have accomplished in a mere 9 weeks!

Much Love

Miss G
