We'll start the week by getting to know each other. I will give you a syllabus and go over it. You will also receive your primary texts, signing them out and covering those you haven't actually purchased. I would also like to hear a little about each of you. Some of this may come out as you turn in your projects. You may volunteer to share your visual with the class. We will talk briefly about the summer reading too. I have a brief power-point presentation on Fahrenheit 451--one that shows you something about Bradbury's skill as a writer.
On Thursday/Friday, we will continue that discussion (depending on how things went on Tuesday/Wednesday). We will also begin reading The Epic of Gilgamesh. Homework: Read the background on "Gilgamesh"--pp. 10-12 and read the Prologue and "The Coming of Enkidu"--pp. 13-17.
2nd Period--Remember to turn in all paperwork--the quiz, the emergency information, and the syllabus part with your signature and your parent's signature. All other classes must turn that syllabus--signed--too.
