Today’s Goal: Learn more about myths as you read and analyze “Baucis AND Philemon” (online PDF, pp. 257 – 263). Outcomes: Define the term “metamorphosis” and explain how that concept is used in mythology. Name two examples of metamorphosis from “Baucis and Philemon.” State one possible theme for the myth, “Baucis and Philemon.” Identify the character traits of the main characters, Baucis and Philemon.” Define the term “values” (using “Before You Read,” 1st paragraph) and identify the values of Baucis and Philemon.

Starter #1: While each sub-genre of Folk Lore (folk tale, myth, legend, fable) has a distinct purpose, there is some overlap. For example, the purpose of myth is to explain the world around us. But as we shall see today, myths also teach people how to behave as human beings. They teach by showing, rather than telling. We relate to the characters and learn from their actions/decisions.

Starter #2: Turn to today’s pre-read handout, “Before You Read.” It’s important that we read this entire page. We will read the first column together, right now, then we’ll take a brief time-out. I’ll read while you follow along. (We will not do the “freewrite” mentioned.) Before we read about “metamorphosis,” please open your binder to Cornell Notes #12 and write down these two questions (be sure to leave enough space for two answers in the right column): * 5. What does “metamorphosis” mean? * 6. Explain how metamorphosis is used in mythology. As I read this section aloud, you find the answers!  (They will be in the same paragraph that we are about to read.)

Starter #3: Open your Chromebook; scroll to Lit, Oct. 16 Click the link for Baucis and Philemon to open the story as a PDF. You will read this story independently. As you read today’s story, make sure you do these things: * Use the footnotes to help you understand new words/terms. * Every time you see a “Connections” box, take a time-out to read and consider what it says. This will help you to understand the story better and to do well on the assigned questions.   Enjoy reading!  (Online PDF, pp. 257 – 263) After you finish reading, you may begin your handout questions. The questions are due tomorrow, BOC, and will be handed in.
