The plan: everyday we will read another section of the Odyssey and discuss what it represents and how it affects us still today. Students will apply that to writing their own story and to finding historical articles or current events that relate to the story.
Writing: This quarter we are in the deep end on a journey through great writing and the great allusions, symbols, history, psychology, plotting, and grammar that goes with it. We will be annotating the Odyssey and watching movies as an example, then writing our own epic to practice.
