1. Read Gilgamesh. Remember- 'reading' actually means annotating the text. As you annotate, you will need to bring in your new information and skills... what have you learned about the history of the time period? how is it reflected in the reading? What are the concerns of the people of the era? What literary aspects do you recognize? (bring in previous literary analysis skills)What about archetypes? Are you seeing any represented? How? What plot elements are important? What structural elements are important? Anything look familiar? Now on to the EPIC.. Epic structure? Epic Hero?
Do you see patterns? Look beyond the concrete.. Tear it apart..
Have fun with it. Be brave!
