Important English I Honors Information - 4/13/2020- 4/24/2020 -Two Weeks of Work


4/13/2020
Good Afternoon, Freshman Family! And happy Monday!
We hope that you and your loved ones had a safe and healthy holiday weekend! Last week, we encouraged you to read some ancient Greek tales of Love, some which ended in triumph, and others in tragedy. No doubt you noticed that the tale of Pyramus & Thisbe provided the literary bones of another tear-jerking story we read together this year. Pivoting away from love, romance, and heartbreak, this week we’re excited to send you a collection of heroic myths and swashbucking adventures! These four Hero myths feature hallmarks of modern action movies and adventure games: impossible journeys, legendary weaponry, divine intervention, betrayal, and the terrifying price of victory. These myths also provide the introduction to understanding What Makes A Greek Hero – the collection of character traits and accomplishments that the Greeks valued and respected as champions of their culture.
(Please note – this collection contains enough work for 2 weeks – 4/13 to 4/24)
