 PRACTICE QUIZ for Monday's Test
Please identify the god by their Greek and Roman names, symbols not shown and domains (include all of them if they have more than one.) Some of the images depict all the symbols so identify the gods' Greek and Roman names along with their domains. I apologize that some of the images are slightly blurry. No clue????????

Dear Humanities Kids,

STOP MISSING CLASS! What do you want me to say?

"Did I miss anything important?"
"No, nothing. We did nothing...Oh, wait...we actually watched Hercules the entire class period." 

1. We started our discussion of Greek Mythology, specifically the Greek Pantheon. Each student received a copy of  their text book. We went to the library and checked out the books. If you were absent then you will need to obtain a book on your own time.  Students were asked to read pgs. 21- 37 regarding the Greek gods.  Please read, annotate and notate the information on the gods. Notate a minimum of four points for EACH GOD, not each page. You are welcome to use all the colors.

2. We also corrected the exams covering EGYPT.

3. Don't forget that your CER #1 is due on THURSDAY>


DO YOUR BEST NOT TO MISS CLASS!
