Grade 12
  • Group discussion: compare the characters of God, Pan-gu and Uranus.
  • Continue discussion of Gen 1.
  • Small group discussion of Gen 2
  • Large group discussion of Gen 2.
  • Response paper for Gen 1 and 2 due tomorrow.
  • Directions for analysis paper and presentation:
    • Select one myth and analyze the story, in at least 750 - 1000 words, as discussed in class. You will need to use at least some of the concepts covered in class: metaphor, symbolism, archetypes, psychology, sociology, the hero journey and personal meaning. While there should be a brief summary of the story, most of the paper will be analysis and interpretation. Make sure your essay has a well defined thesis statement in the introduction

      Presentation:
      Presentation should last 3 minutes. Briefly summarize the story. (Try to tell it well!) Then summarize your analysis. Make sure you focus on your thesis statement! You may use visual aids such as a slideshow, posters, etc. (Please give me any files to be used on a thumb drive at the beginning of class. See me if this is a problem.)
Grade 10
