Odyssey Lecture

 Today you will:

1. Continue to read and take notes on The Odyssey.
2. Watch the video on Edpuzzle. I know that it is a university lecture, but this is a college class. Try to glean one new idea about The Odyssey that wouldn't have occurred to you.
3. Complete the Flipgrid daily checkin on Google Classroom.

Odyssey Books 1-7 Day 3

 Today you will do the following:

1. Continue reading and taking notes on The Odyssey.
2. Fill in the Greek Mythology Names and Places chart on Google Classroom.
3. Take the quizzes assigned on Google Classroom for Books 3 and 4

Odyssey Books 1-7 Day 2

 Today you will do the following:

1. Look at the schedule for the semester. I have pretty much planned out the rest of the year.
2. You will go to the library and check out a copy of The Odyssey at 1PM
3. You need to read The Odyssey Books 1-7 by the end of the week. We will have a discussion on Monday about this section.
4. You will take 1/2 page of notes for each Book. You must write more if you have large handwriting. You can use the front and back of a piece of paper. Use the same two column format I describe on yesterday's blog.
5. You will take a quiz on Books 1 and 2. You will find the quiz in Google Classroom. You will have two tries to get the highest score you can.
6. You will respond to the Flipgrid in Google Classroom. The questions are on the assignment. This will count as a reading grade.

Odyssey Book 1

 Here are your tasks for today:

1. Watch the Edpuzzle videos assigned in Google Classroom. Take notes. Watching the videos is due TODAY. I will collect the notes when I come back.
2. Read Book 1 of the Odyssey. We will go to the library and check out physical books, but for now you can read the PDF. On a separate sheet of paper, folded in half, take notes on Book 1. On the left hand side, make comments on the plot. On the right hand side, look for literary features, themes, shifts, etc.
3. Don't waste time. We are on a tight schedule this semester.
