    connor robson:i give it an A it looks like some is copy but i don't know. you did put source citations tho at the bottom. the information is good has lots of detail and facts about pasiphae. it includes a picture so that helps too and helps give a visual idea of how big pasiphae is. you also included the god that pasiphae is named after. so i think i would have done almost the same for this if i had done this project. so i give this an A!
