October 1, 2013 - Tuesday

Class Work Return to your group. Check the Internet for a brief overview of your group's assigned hero.
Make a group PowerPoint presentation of 6-10+ slides to tell the story to the class. Each group member should create at least one slide. There is a space on Canvas to post. Please include the names of all group members on the "title" slide.
Here are some suggested sites. Feel free to check other sites.

Your group may post the finished PowerPoint in Canvas. List your names alphabetically by last name on the title slide. Post under the first person's name.

Presentations!!!! Take notes. Write a brief summary of each tale. Bulleted lists are fine. This is a paper assignment. I will collect these at the end of the presentations. Be sure you have notes for each.


Just in case there was a shortage of princesses . . .

Just from viewing the trailer, how do these "ladies" differ from Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, to name a few? Are they similar in any way?

In the Theseus tale, there is a "chapter" about human sacrifice to the Minotaur.

Listen to a tale from Afghanistan. It is from the opening chapters of And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner.

Write a one page reaction to the story.
  • What did you like?
  • Was there anything you disliked? Why"
  • What was familiar?
  • What was the message?


Post in Canvas. (25 pts.) This is due Thursday.
