Note! Do not treat these Mythology questions lightly. You must answer in complete sentences, and restate the question in your answer so that anyone could read your answer and know what you are talking about. Read the directions carefully. Also, this will not be a simple completion grade. I will be grading on your understanding of the reading, so I am looking for correct answers (not necessarily LONG answers--try to be concise), and I'm looking to see that you follow directions.
- The Mythology reading is posted here and in the sidebar. The password is the same password you use for the grammar book documents. I will continue to post the readings on the website, but as we continue in the Mythology book this semester, you will want to purchase your own copy or use the one I check out to you.

8-period schedule
Due:
- Bring your copy of Hamilton's Mythology to class.
In Class:
- Read the Foreword and Introduction to Edith Hamilton's Mythology and answer the study questions. Do not treat these questions lightly. You must answer in complete sentences, and restate the question in your answer so that anyone could read your answer and know what you are talking about with seeing the question. Read the directions carefully. Also, this will not be a completion grade. I will be grading on your understanding of the reading, so I am looking for correct answers, and I'm looking to see that you followed directions.
NOTE: Your answers should be typed, and you should follow MLA format. I will count off for incorrect heading, spacing, font, etc.
(However, I DO want you to number your answers so that I can see which question you are answering. You do not need to format your answers as paragraphs.)
Another piece of advice: Don't simply try to hunt for the answers. Trying to skip the reading often leads to wrong answers, plus you miss the context of what is being discussed. The questions are arranged in order as you read, so read carefully and answer the questions as you go.
This assignment is not due until before school on Thursday, October 17. Submit it to TurnItIn.com.
