1. A 140 character summary of The Epic of Gilgamesh. 2. A one-page summary of The Epic of Gilgamesh. 3. A short prose adaptation of The Epic of Gilgamesh. 

 I’ve used the 3rd option to create a class storyboard of the myth.  After reading the one page summary as a class, partner are assigned a piece of the prose adaptation.  They create a cartoon panel for their segment and the class shares their piece in order to tell the story.

I am also uploading a "Challenge Assignment" that I created for students using this resource.

Q-Notes are very similar to what you may already know as “two-column notes.”  On the left is where you have the “Q” which stands for “question.”  And on the right you have the answer.  Sometimes you will be given the question, and sometimes you will have to create the question on your own.

Textbooks and articles are split up by headings.  Typically, the heading is a phrase that tells you what you will be reading about in the next couple of paragraphs.  You will turn these headings into questions, and write the question in your already set up 2 column notes page.

The section is titled, “Why were river valleys important?”

It is already a question, so you can leave it as is.  If the section was titled, “River Valleys Were Important” then you would have to turn it into a question.  Think of your question words (who what when where how why) and see which one would fit.  You could change it to “Why were river valleys important” or “How were river valleys important?”

Yes!  Include any vocabulary.  You do not necessarily have to define it here, but you should use it in your notes.  

Proposition: Would it have been better for Persia to win the Persian Wars, rather than the Greeks.  One side will argue that if Persia had won it would have been better for the world.  The other side will argue no, that it is better that for the world for Greece to have won.

Arguments For Persia Winning:

Counter Arguments come from selecting one of the arguments on the Greek side.  You will select an argument and tell why that argument is wrong.  How could you beat that argument?
