Medusa Mythology
Examination
Achievement Awards Program
Any student who
earns a gold medal on the Medusa
Mythology Examination is invited to apply for several Achievement Awards. This year's theme is Describe the birthday party of an Olympian 2.0. Click on the link for COMPLETE INFORMATION about the student composition.
The application
consists of three parts, available at the 2010 Achievement Awards application forms page:
* teacher
recommendation form
* student application
form
* student
composition
The
teacher, not the student, must
submit all three documents via email by 11:59 pm on 31 May 2010. Click on the links above to download these forms.
Students who
apply will then receive points, distributed as follows:
70 points for composition:
* 20 for
knowledge of myth
* 20 for
originality and creativity
* 15 for
organization and cohesion in narrative
* 15 for
writing mechanics
10 for the teacher recommendations
20 for the Medusa score: Students who
earned 49 points on the Medusa will therefore have a slight advantage over
students who earned 47 points.
The top three
awards will be in the amount of $750 (the "Minerva"), $550 (the
"Apollo"), and $300 (the
"Nike"), with up to four
honorable mentions of $100 each (the "Musae").
There is a chance that not all prizes will be awarded if too few quality
applications are received.
The awards will
be mailed directly to the winners on or before July 1, 2010. All teachers whose
students participated in the Medusa will receive a list of the winners and
copies of the top compositions. Names of the recipients, along with top
compositions will be posted on the Medusa Exam website.
All questions,
as well as completed Achievement Award Applications, should be emailed directly
to:
