Pre-AP English 9
In today's class, we continued our discussion of the Greek Pantheon and its use as the backdrop of The Odyssey. We also began discussing the advent and common practices of Norse mythology as a backdrop to the students' reading of Runemarks. It is VERY important that students download and print a copy of these notes to study, as our time in class covering them will be VERY limited!

Homework: Students need to have their copies of Joanne Harris' Runemarks by Tuesday, January 22nd!
