More on Epic Similes and Meter

Thursday 15 February 2018 for Periods 5 & 6 and Friday 16 February 2018 for Periods 1, 2, & 7

Membean Vocabulary Drills:  10 minutes

Mr. Stone gave students a sheet explaining the acronym SOAPSTONES as used for document analysis (particularly in AP history courses).  He proceeded to model document analysis by annotating a page from Book 9 of The Odyssey.

The analysis focused on speaker's use of the familiar and the unfamiliar in epic similes.

(If a student missed this analysis, he/she should be sure to get the notes from a classmate.)

Students filled in the meter, elevated style, and epic simile cells on the epic elements table in their commonplace books.

Homework:  Study for The Odyssey test by using your notes and continue preparing your selected Odyssey project.
