The heroic pattern note is up on the class website under the mythology tab.

The rubric for the myth article paragraph is also up there.

Homework: you must EMAIL you paragraph to Mr.Cohen when he told you (different deadlines for different classes). Be sure to include MLA format info (ie. Your name and course section ex. ENG 1D7-02)

1. How does a myth differ from a normal story?

2. Has technology inspired new mythology?

Write a triple burger SEEES paragraph for both.

Also, look up "orientalism". Who coined the term? What does it mean?

Your homework for next class is to read the Times Article (go to our class website to download).

You also have to write two SEEEEEES paragraph. One on war: is war necessary or not. The second one should explain why a celebrity represents the characteristics of a certain god from your list of gods and celebrities. Do ONE paragraph on ONE celebrity ONLY.

Look up the artist Banksy. Just for interest's sake.

One more reminder...
You also have the mythology celebrity sheet to hand in next class. Find YOUR OWN picks to identify which celebrities would represent the list of gods you were given in class and mount their pictures on an 8x11 sheet.

So three things due next class:
- skit
- Times article
- celebrity mythology sheet
