English IV Rocks out to Gilgamesh

The English IV classes culminated their Epic of Gilgamesh unit by creating music videos. These students used the information we discussed in class, independent research on Gilgamesh and Mesopotamia, and the epic itself to rewrite the lyrics to a song of their choice. Students then worked in groups to create the music videos that follow.
