1. Written response- How does Achilles function as an epic hero? 

Sample Achilles Epic Hero Paper

How do I respond proficiently to this prompt? 
  1. I briefly discuss what an epic hero is as a character. 
  2. I restate the question and answer it as a declaratory topic sentence. 
  3. I introduce the first trait of an epic hero that I feel best applies to Achilles. 
  4. With my introduction of this trait, I explain what the trait means. 
  5. I explain how Achilles represents this trait.
  6. Starting off with a transition phrase such as "For example," I, then, introduce a quote that demonstrates this trait. (Use a tag line...  integrate quote correctly) Link here: How to Integrate Quotations
  7. I will then explain HOW this quote demonstrates this trait. (How I see the trait and quote connected). 
  8. Next, I utilize my additive transitions to introduce a second trait (Furthermore, additionally, etc.)  Link here: Transition words 
  9. I repeat steps 3-7. 
  10. I will, again, utilize my additive transitions to introduce a third trait (Furthermore, additionally, etc.) 
  11. I repeat steps 3-7. 
  12. I will wrap up with a concluding statement emphasizing Achilles' role as a epic hero. 
Things I will double check before submitting: 
  • I have a MLA formatted paper- heading, header, and title. 
  • I have cited my quotations. Usually I would use line numbers, but for this version please write Homer and the section of lines your quote was found. 
  • I stay completely in 3rd person POV- no I, we, or YOU. 
  • I have capitalized all proper nouns. The Iliad is italicized. 
  • I have used transitions. 
  • I have introduced, cited, and explained all of my quotations. (I.C.E)
  • I have made sure that I have sentence variation- (Try starting a sentence with an introductory clause). 
  • I have made sure that all of my sentences are complete sentences- no run ons or comma splices. 
Response due to Schoology Thursday, February 20th by 7:30 AM. 

Book 6 of The Iliad will be due by Thursday. (This has given you 6 days to read it).
