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.
