Welcome to 2017 and World Literature! This course includes literature from around the world from all time periods. We will start this week with the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is one of the first known epics. We will also take the SLO pre-test, and get started on a pre-test for the class. (I know, too much testing--I'm with you completely.) Typically, our class periods will be a mixture of reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. Language Arts covers a lot of ground.
These are the Learning Questions we will cover this week.
- The historical and cultural context for the literature we will read from this time period.
- The types, elements, and conventions of an epic - How to analyze an epic for the archetype of the hero’s quest
-What is the function and use of the archetypal setting in ancient literature?
