4. Discussed how the two were different and what each version represented based on various choices the author made.
5. Why would two authors read the same myth and interpret them in such different ways?
1- We practiced names for the upcoming name quiz-- Quiz will be Friday, September 4th.
2-We read the Icarus Myth as a class. See image below
3. We watched two interpretations of the myth and asked ourselves the questions " How is this author interpreting the myth and how do I know that?"

4. Discussed how the two were different and what each version represented based on various choices the author made.
5. Why would two authors read the same myth and interpret them in such different ways?
- personal experience
- Moral beliefs
- What texts we've already read
- Biases
- etc.
Therefore--there are mulitple ways to interpret a text as long as you have the evidence to back it up.
