Read and Chill-
1. As a table, you will review and discuss the 7 Epic Hero Traits/Characteristics. Add to your notes, further discussion points from your group.
2. After you discuss each of the 7 traits, your group will determine what traits apply to Achilles in Book 1 of The Iliad.
3. Collectively, find direct quotes to support the Traits of the Epic Hero from Book 1. Most of the traits will be found in Book 1. You will need to think about the trait and how it can be applied.
** You need to use the copy we are working with for class, not the internet. Vast difference in the two skills you are applying- Research (searching)(Costa's Level 1) and Reading (Comprehension and application)(Costa's Level 2 and 3)
4. Receive Book 6 (excerpt). This will need to be read by Wednesday, February 19th. Take notes on plot and literary devices as you did on Book 1.
