Begin by carefully reading Gilgamesh and the Unit 1 content.
For this discussion, you are to identify a point of interest in the text of the epic, Gilgamesh, and provide your classmates with context that helps you and your fellow students better understand what you are reading. An is included above this discussion (but be sure to choose a reference from Gilgamesh rather than The Shahnameh!).
Part 1
Start with a close and careful reading of the epic, annotating interesting historical, geographical, or cultural references in the text as you read. Next, choose one particular reference you find interesting and would like to learn more about. Type or copy the quotation where you found the reference into the beginning of your discussion post. Be sure to include an in-text citation.
Part 2
Find or create and provide in your post a visual or audio element that relates to the reference you have chosen. If you locate one online, identify what it is and provide a link to the webpage it came from. If you yourself create it, please indicate that.
Part 3
Provide context that is, more details about your point of interest. Go beyond the text and do some research. In your own words, explain more about your topic in a way that will help other readers. Include links to at least two strong, reputable sources that you find valuable. In your research, be sure to answer the question: “How does the historical, geographical, or cultural reference or artifact connect the epic to its original time, place, and culture, and how does this enhance your understanding of the text within its historical context and literary genre (the epics)?”
Part 4
Now that your own knowledge has expanded, pose a significant question for further consideration about a character or a plot point from this text in relation to your reference. If you had more time, where would you go next in your study of Gilgamesh? You do not have to answer your own question; just include it at the end of your post.
Part 5
Respond thoughtfully to the posts of at least two of your classmates (minimum of 60 words for each reply). All of you together are building your shared knowledge about this epic.
