Important English I Honors Information - 4/6/2020

4/6/2020

Good Afternoon, Freshman Family! And happy Monday!

Last week, Ms. Syes and Mr. Tidyman shared some very foundational Greek Myths with students – Tales of Demeter and Dionysus, as well as the chapter that walks the reader through the Creation of the Universe. We understand that, so far, recommended readings have been long on explanations, and somewhat short on actual stories. That’s why we’re so excited to share some actual Myths with you this week! The chapters linked in this e-mail actually have several small stories within!

·         Chapter 4: The Earliest Heroes

·         Link to the Ch. 4 Study Guide

Furthermore, as the week rolls along, we would like you to read the first love story so major that it gets its own chapter: Cupid & Psyche (pronounced syy-kee, not sike)

·         Chapter 5: Cupid & Psyche

·         Link to Ch. 5 study guide

We are so confident that this romantic tale will cause such hearts to flutter, and spark such curiosity about portrayals of love in other myths, that we’re also attaching the next chapter, which contains eight mini-myths:

·         Chapter 6: Eight Brief Tales of Lovers

·         Link to Ch. 6 study guide

Ms. Syes and Mr. Tidyman would like to remind students that there is a Kahoot review

opportunity available online! So far, there have only been about 10 plays of each class
