Today in class we read the myth of Echo; Narcissus; Daedalus and Icarus; and Arachne. We also began reading the myth of Cupid and Psyche.
1. Select one of the myths that we read in class. Re-read the short myth, and draw/color an image highlighting the main character OR telling the story with the characters in that myth. First, sketch your image. Then use color to enhance your image! Think back to your illustrations when we did literature circles!
OR
2. Write a poem: either a haiku or a free-verse or poem with rhyme about one of the characters in mythology that we read today
3. We also learned the etymology of the following words: echo; narcissist; and arachne. Add these words to your notes.
4. Peruse the myths in the text and decide on a myth that you would like to read. In class on Thursday, we will finish the story of Cupid and Psyche (you may finish early if you would like) and get into small groups.. We will also begin working on a Theogeny family tree!
