We are still reading through our Myths and have finished up the last Myth for the unit. We will begin our 5 paragraph essay tomorrow on one of our readings. I will go over the format and model the writing.
Reminder that there will be a unit exam over Mythology, Legends, etc., before our Spring Break.

“Icarus” & “Phaethon” – due on Tuesday
#4Analyze Greek Gods: What human qualities do the gods in “Phaethon” display? Include details.
#5Draw Conclusions: On the basis of the myths you have read, what conclusions can you draw about the attitude of ancient Greeks toward human nature? Use examples from the text.
#6 Evaluate a character: Was Icarus believable to you – as in, does he have traits of a young boy? Explain whether you think his thoughts and actions are similar to those of a real person. Also tell whether you think people today can relate to someone like Icarus.
#7 Make inferences: How do you think Daedulus eventually felt about his decision to fly away from Crete? Cite details from the myth in your answer.
