Hello students! I am taking a 'leap of faith' here and showing you the first step in my learning. I am your 12th grade English teacher, I have earned a Master's Degree in Education, a Bachelor's degree in Language Arts with a minor in Reading, and an Associates of Arts and Science. I have twenty years of experience reading with, to and for students like yourself, and guess what? THIS IS MY FIRST (first. yes, I said FIRST) introduction to Gilgamesh!
As always, in order to be able to teach it, I must learn it, and THIS is my first step--I do this before I read the actual text because for me, I will understand the text MUCH better with the background. If you would like it read aloud to you with perfect pronunciation, by a teacher who already understands the story, DON'T listen to this.
I am posting this so you can understand that no matter how much you learn, there is always more; and it is always a little awkward when you first interact with it. So, if you dare to hear me learning, and you need help with Gilgamesh, listen!
