"Gilgamesh" reading a Sumerian myth

We will be reading Gilgamesh in class next week (October 26th - October 30th) - This is going to require some reading on your own time...

Monday - 10/26 - we will be introducing the myth in class
Tuesday - 10/27 - we will be doing a whole class reading of Tablet one
Wednesay - 10/28 - we don't have class, but in your academic lab, you should be working with groups to put together your tablet - each table will be responsible for one of the tablets- it would be a good idea to talk to your friends in other sections of the class and maybe work together in a larger group to understand meaning of the tablet - identify key plot points, establish varying qualities of the writing that others would be interested in knowing about - you should have notes provided for your sections for the class on chart paper with textual references as you present

Thursday - 10/28- begin jigsaw presentations
Friday - 10/29 - complete jigsaw presentation
