Trojan war links [] [] [] [] []

During: The Trojan War has been described as beginning with an apple and ending with a horse. Why?

After: How would you summarize the events which led to the beginning of the Trojan War? How did Priam and Hecuba attempt to avoid the disaster prophesied before the birth of Paris? How did their action lead to Paris’s involvement with Zeus and the goddesses? What did each of the three goddesses offer Paris? How did the bribe of each goddess reflect her interests and attributes? Zeus thought that Paris would be an honest judge. Why? Did his behaviour after the contest show he was a man of integrity? Explain. What is meant by the “judgement of Paris”?

What part did the gods play in bringing on the Trojan war and in prolonging the war? What is there about the Trojan War story that still makes it popular with people today?

To whom it may concern;

I am honoured to be writing a reference letter for Victoria Shaw. Victoria is interested in the social work field and I feel her personality, skills and experiences would help her to be very successful in this field.

I was Victoria’s teacher in middle years and her academic achievement was excellent when I taught her and has remained excellent throughout her high school career. She is very intelligent and a very hard worker in her academics. Her transcripts are a reflection of the importance she places on education.

Victoria is an active participant in our school. She has been on the Yearbook committee the last two years and has been an active volunteer in our canteen. She has worked as a Grade 3 helper and volunteered at a number of sporting events in our school. She has been named student of the month in our school, a recognition of the good work she does in the school.

Outside of school Victoria has been involved in a large number of activities. Victoria did an excellent job this fall as a volunteer soccer coaches for young players under 5 years of age. She made practice fun and energetic and the participants greatly enjoyed themselves. In addition she has worked at a variety of jobs while in high school, such as a waitress, cleaner and traffic control worker, where her friendly personality and work ethic have allowed her to be a well- respected worker. This past summer her home community was hit with a very painful flood. Victoria, like many others, did more than her part to assist her community during the flooding and dealing with aftermath.

Victoria is trustworthy and responsible, persistent and determined and has a positive attitude that makes her eager to take in new experiences. Her school, volunteer and working experience show her to be focused young lady with time management skills and a goal-orientated mindset. These skills and abilities will serve her well in the future.

If you have any questions or require more information please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Blair Beck Carnduff Education Complex, President Carnduff Minor Sports
