Introduction to The Epic of Gilgamesh

TAKING NOTES. Your notes are for you. You're going to have to study them. You will have to refer to them. Is it better to write them out by hand or type them?

Here are some tips you can review on your own time.

Take notes as we go through the slideshow (1-33) together today. (Intro to Gilgamesh SLIDESHOW )

It should take us about 15 minutes, then in Base Groups, you will share w/ classmates at least one key point from YOUR notes. Everyone's notes should become better in Base Group time.

Homework: Read The Epic of Gilgamesh Prologue and Book 1 for Thursday (pages 1-6). You can print out the pdf if you want, or just read on your screen. That's up to you.

SLIDESHOW w/ video narration by Mr. R. if you missed class.

10 MUST KNOW VOCABULARY Words from The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Vocabulary Words will be added to this list bi-weekly.

They'll all come from the literature we study.

They'll be words that I think you'll see on AP and other standardized tests like the ACT and SAT. And IRL.

Enjoy the words. Chew them up and spit them out. Use them casually at home to annoy your family. Dance to them on TikTok.

We will add to the Quizlet (click to join) and take quizzes bi-weekly, starting next week. The squares will be formative one week and the quizzes will be summative the next week. Each Wednesday, there will be time for some vocabulary instruction, learning, and review.
