Dear Humanities Kids,
If you missed today, we completed the following:
1. JOURNAL #6 " A FRIEND TO ALL IS A FRIEND TO NONE"
Plato's words have merit and validity, don't you think? What does he mean? How can a person be friendly to everyone; yet, not actually have any friends? Do you know people like this? Explain?
2. We completed discussing the Hellenistic time period in relationship to Greek sculpture.
3. We also discussed the significance of Alexander, the Great! You can decide if you think he was "great" or not?????
4. We then discussed Sparta and Olympia.
PRACTICE QUIZ:
Guys, you SHOULD NOT use your notes for this. Clearly we have an integrity issue here, as I am not sitting next to you at the moment. Use the practice quiz as a pre-test! Cut and paste the following questions into a Word document, and then respond to them from there. Good Luck!
1. What type of artwork is this piece? What do we know about the culture that created it?

1. Ms. Davis and I discussed the significant advancements regarding the Minoan culture. I recommend communicating with a friend regarding this information.
2. We then divided the class, and 1/2 the students stayed with Davis and the other half came with Crampton. Both groups watched a video regarding the achievements of the Minoan culture and what caused their decline. This is JOURNAL #6, entitled "Minoan Culture: Interesting Points." If you missed class, you are welcome to stop by during a flex session and view the video clip. ALL MYTHOLOGY STUDENTS NEED TO WATCH THE CLIP THAT DAVIS SHOWED IN HER ROOM. OTHER STUDENTS need to check in WITH CRAMPTON.
HOMEWORK:
1. Mythology in Art is due on TUESDAY.
2. "QUEST" covering the Minoans and Myceneans will take place on THURSDAY.

2. Explain how this event connects to Crete?
3. How does this image relate to myth?

Dear Humanities Academy Kids,
STUDY FOR YOUR QUIZ!
1. Test covering Greek Gods on MONDAY! You will see pictures of the Greek gods, and I will ask that you identify the god via their symbols. You will need to identify the Greek, Roman, one symbol not shown, and two domains if the god has more than one.
I am aware that we did not discuss all the gods, so create flashcards for the ones that we did review. In addition, all of the gods are indicated on the practice quiz, but we did not discuss #8 or #10, so just skip those.
2. Create Flashcards for the gods. You can use a 1/4 of the number that you create on the quiz.
PRACTICE QUIZ for Friday's Quiz
Please identify the god by their Greek and Roman names, symbols not shown and domains (include all of them if they have more than one.) Some of the images depict all the symbols so identify the gods' Greek and Roman names along with their domains. I apologize that some of the images are slightly blurry. No clue????????

Dear Academy Kids,
If you missed class, we completed the following:
1. Each student received his/her exam covering Egypt/Meso and Ms. Davis went through them with the class.
2. We then started our discussion regarding the GREEK PANTHEON! Yes, we will be "in" Greece for the next few weeks, and it makes sense to begin with the gods! Each student was given a packet, which you can collect from the make-up box, and we started our discussion o the gods.
3. We also went to the library where every student received a new textbook entitled MYTHOLOGY. If you were absent, please stop by Ms. Davis's room and collect a book and then check it out through the librarians.
HOMEWORK:
1. Please read pages 20- 37 in MYTHOLOGY. Annotate and notate only for ORANGE. Focus on 3-5 points of interest regarding the Greek pantheon. DO NOT WRITE IN YOUR BOOK.
2. Read and annotated "Where did Greek Mythology start?" This handout is part of the packet that was distributed last class period.
