English 9 - Mythology & Independent Reading Project

Your mythology project was due today (Friday).  If you did not 1) bring your required notes or 2) bring your project at all, you may turn them in Monday for a deduction of points.  We will begin presenting next week.  Late projects will receive a 20 point deduction from the total on Monday, as you have been given two additional days to complete your project. 

We have been "telling" the three myths that go along with the events surrounding and during the Trojan War.  If you have missed any of the three myths (the Apple of Discord, the Oath of Tyndareus, or The Trojan War), you should get them from a classmate or from your teacher-- they will be on your mythology quiz, which will be on Tuesday.

The mythology quiz will consist of terms, characters, and stories that we read over the course of this unit.  A study guide was created in class on Wednesday and the quiz itself will be on Tuesday, March 20.  Students should be aware that this is a double quiz grade, so they should study the appropriate material. 

New independent reading selections were made this week.  Students should read approximately 20 pages in their books this weekend.  Books should be memoir, biography, or autobiography, 200 pages minimum (or otherwise approved by teacher), appropriate, and not read or assigned for another class.
