In March we take the National Mythology Exam. This syllabus for this exam is based on D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths. If you buy a copy of the book, keep your copy at home for homework reading. We have class copies for in class work and Xerox copies which you can use for homework if you do not purchase the book.
Your nine weeks class grade is determined on a total points basis. The toal for each Nine weeks total is about 1000 pts.
You will complete the following kinds of assignments.
You will have homework every night!
