Introduction
We will soon read Gilgamesh, which is an example of an epic. In this webquest, you will discover the traits of an epic and an epic hero. You will then preview the Epic of Gilgamesh itself. Be sure to follow along with your webquest packet (on eClass) and take effective and detailed notes.
Turn in your Webquest to Ms. Tuggle's Dropbox by this Friday, 9/9/16. This will be the only day you have to work on it in class.
