Task 3 -Select your Activity 1 from the Iliad Activities List- 50 points
Select your Activity 1 from the Iliad Activities List. Copy the question at the top of your Activity. Then, write out your response to the question, label your work with your name and Activity 1, and post it to the Homer Forum on Blackboard. Worth up to 50 points.
PLAGIARISM: Since you are able to read what other students have written on the forums, any copying of their work without the use of quotation marks and proper attribution by name of the student will be considered plagiarism. Any plagiarized Activity will be given a grade of 0 and cannot be redone. If you find an idea in another student's essay that you would like to include in your discussion, you must quote it exactly (you can use copy/paste to do this), use quotation marks to set it off, and indicate the name of the student and the Activity in parentheses immediately after the quote. Further, you must use this quote to develop some point of your own, not to simply imitate the ideas of the other student.
If you find that all of your ideas on a topic have already been used by someone else, choose a different Activity.
ACTIVITIES: The Activity questions will help you to learn more about the Troy materials you are studying. These questions do not have single, simple answers, but are designed to help you to think in interesting ways about many aspects of the myths and stories of Troy. Writing these Activities will help you to understand what you are reading and prepare to take the exams.
These Activity entries must be thoughtful; each one should be at least a full typed page or more in length (e.g. not less than 250 words) . They may be longer if you need to say more on your topic. You will not be able to do these Activity entries properly unless you have carefully read the assigned literature.
I will accept only one Activity at a time. If you post more than one at a time, you will have to repost the next Activity after I read and respond to the first one.
HINT: Read through the Activities Lists
before selecting and reading the texts. Identifying interesting questions in advance will allow you to focus your reading
