Identifying the Epic Elements in Homer's Odyssey

Tuesday 6 February 2018 for Periods 2, 5, & 6 and Wednesday 7, February 2018 for Periods 1 & 7

The Junior class is making use of the Chrome books from Tuesday through Thursday this week.  Membean drills will be completed as part of homework during these days.

Mr. Stone distributed five three-hole-punched sheets for students to place in their commonplace books:  Epic Poetry, Epic Elements in Homer's Odyssey (2 sheets), Odysseus's Journey, diagram of the stages in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey.

Students checked the order of the commonplace pages as they inserted these new sheets in their books.

The class began completing the Epic Elements in Homer's Odyssey table.  They filled in textual evidence for invocation of the muse, long narrative poem, and panoramic setting.

Mr. Stone began discussing the options for the Odyssey projects.  He showed examples of a game, a model, a diorama of a scene, a painting/drawing of a scene, Odyssey by the numbers, and journey calculations.

Homework:  Complete ten minutes of Membean vocabulary drills, work on finishing reading Tales from the Odyssey if you have not completed reading it in class and you have checked out a copy from Mr. Stone, and begin reviewing the notes taken in class in preparation for you test over the Odyssey.
