Targets for Today:
 I know about 14 major Greek gods. |
Today’s Agenda Wednesday, January 9, 2019:
Attendance question: We will begin Greek Myths today, after sharing a variety of myths. Your question is this: Zeus, the father/leader of the Greek Gods, had power to do many things. If Zeus got mad at you and turned you into an animal permanently, which animal would you want to be?  Campfire Stories You will read/tell a story to a small group around the "campfire." Receive a story to prepare -- Read through the story. You may write on your paper. Meet with the people who have the same story. Discuss the story. Now meet together with classmates who have the other four stories. With your group, create a campfire out of paper. Which group can create the most convincing campfire? -- Without using real fire! Prometheus and Raven, cut that out!   Begin Greek Mythology -- Receive and tape or glue into your composition book the Greek alphabet. You will use this to decode fun facts about mythology. Υντιλ 1848, Ευροπεανς θουγ-τ γοριλλας ωερε μυθικ βεαστς.  The Pantheon Pantheon comes from the Greek word pan meaning all and theo meaning god. So pantheon means all the gods. We are not going to cover all the gods today because there are many, many Greek gods. Take notes on The Pantheon -- Give a page to each of the 14 major gods and goddesses. The notes from today are also on CANVAS under Mythology, Modules, Greek and Roman Mythology, The Greek/Roman Pantheon Note: You can also see the PowerPoint by going to CANVAS, Mythology, Modules, Greek and Roman Mythology, Day 01.3--Who's Who on Mt Olympus (3).pptx

‘TWAS THE NIGHT
By: Jon Scieszka
Twas the night before Any Thing, and all through deep space,
Nothing existed -- time, matter, or place. No stockings, no chimneys. It was hotter than hot. Everything was compressed in one very dense dot. When out of the nothing there appeared with a clatter A fat guy with reindeer and something the matter. His nose was all runny. He gave a sick hack. "Oh, Dasher! Oh, Dancer! I can't hold it back!" He huffled and snuffled and sneezed one AH-CHOO! Then like ten jillion volcanoes, the universe blew. That dense dot exploded, spewing out stars, Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, and Mars, Helium, hydrogen, the mountains and seas, The chicken, the egg, the birds and the bees, Yesterday's newspaper, tomorrow's burnt toast, Protons and neutrons, your grandma's pork roast. The universe expanded. The guy said with a wheeze, "Who will ever believe the world started by sneeze? So let's call it something much grander, all right? Merry BIG BANG to all! And to all -- Gesundheit!"
