Please forgive me for not posting this yesterday, I think I had the post-holiday sleepies…
All blocks except for second (since so many students were on the Pruden Center field trip) will have a quiz on the myths and legends background material and on “Theseus” on Wednesday or Thursday 11/28-29. Be prepared to explain the cultural value represented by two of Theseus’ deeds in paragraph form!
Presentations of each person’s illustration of one of Theseus’ deeds will be given prior to the quiz. Let’s be prepared!

I decided to collect this (“Theseus” cloze) for a (classwork) grade after all. Please be sure that you finished it and get it to me Monday or Tuesday (depending on which bell you’re in). The story is on page 662 in the literature book. Thanks! Second and sixth block: you had to do this mostly for homework anyway due to our shortened bell today; don’t forget to bring it back!
