  3. STANDARDS Literary Response and Analysis 3.12: Analyze the way in which a work of literature is related to the themes and issues of its historical period. (Historical approach)

  4. RIG VEDA We will be reading a portion of the oldest Veda, called the Rig Veda. Turn to page 114. • What is a “Veda”? • Volunteer to read: • “Build Background: Book of Hymns”? • “Build Background: Aryan Life”? • “Connect to Your Life”? • “Focus your Reading”?

  5. RIG VEDA PARADOX= A paradox is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction. They usually lead to a bit of confusion. • Example: “He who is blind can see the clearest.” • Example: “If you run the fastest, you will arrive last.” • Example: “Once you finally find truth, you will know that there is no truth.” • Example: “I always tell lies.” • Example: • The statement below is false. • The statement above is true.

  6. RIG VEDA As we read “Creation Hymns” and “Burial Hymn,” annotate (for understanding AND for analysis). Keep an eye out for the following: • What paradoxes exist and what is the point? • Who/what is “That One”? • What existed before earth? • What did Ancient Aryans believe about death? (how desirable or frightening is it? What happens to the dead man?) • What the mourners are told of death? • What is happening during this funeral speech? (Similarities or differences from funeral rites today?)

  7. HOMEWORK Homework: Complete page 43– “Words to Know SkillBuilder” in your Interactive Reader. Due MONDAY.
