Assessment
Keeping in mind The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Book of the Dead, and Adoration of the Disk, select one of the assessments below. Each response should be either 2 stanzas or 2 paragraphs, 8-10 sentences (or lines) each. Choice # 1 Go to www.bookofdead.com. Go to the interactive plates on the website. Choose one of the poems and independently identify the speaker, tone, and belief in the afterlife. Write your own Book of the Dead poem. You may choose Osiris and follow the guidelines above. Choice #2 Complete an autobiographical papyrus scroll. Respond to the following questions: A) What would you like people to find written about you when they open your tomb thousands of years from now? B) Would you leave instructions about how to bury you, your feelings on this current life, what you expect out of the next life? Write an autobiographical papyrus scroll. Use the scrolls on www.bookofdead.com as an example.

We all belong to a culture. Culture is the combination of: · human knowledge · beliefs · behavior that we learn and pass on to future generations. We usually express our culture in certain ways, like · how we dress · what we eat · what we believe · even how we played as kids For your first blog post, due by Wednesday at 11:59pm, I would like you to write 1-2 paragraphs on what culture you most closely identify with. You may base this blog post on different cultures and groups that we have discussed in class. You may include pictures and video clips in your post if you would like, but you still must write 1-2 paragraphs. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Here's the step-by-step video of how to create your class blog. |
