Gilgamesh - change of plans

After doing some more planning of my own, I've decided to trash the idea of you all reading it on your own... I think the text may be frustrating for you and that is NOT the intention of the assignment. 

So we will be spending time in class week, exploring Sumarian culture, through Gilgamesh... exploring passages

addressing ideas/terms such as:

• archetype
• hero
• social structure of Sumerian society
• qualities of a good ruler
• oral tradition/ storytelling
• translation
• civilization

We will be using skills such as:
cloze reading
analysis
jigsaw
breaking apart difficult texts
textual support
making historical connections with modern ideas.
writing about literature
