Objective: Continue to read, analyze and interpret Homer's Odyssey. Make connections to our everyday lives.
Warm-Up
Constructed response - On a separate piece of paper to be collected:
Obviously, we are never going to meet a Cyclops. However, we may MEET PEOPLE like the Cyclops. Remember, the Cyclops does not care what others' think, he is brutish, and lawless. What do you do when you meet someone that thinks he/she is above the law, commits crimes and is violent? Do you keep your distance or become neighborly? Why? Why do you think Odysseus waits for the Cyclops to come back into the cave?
Discuss responses after collecting.
1. Take out SOFT holt readers and turn to page 288. Read together through 296
2. In groups, answer questions on 297-299.
3. Review answers together.
Closure
4. From what we have learned about Odysseus so far, in your notebooks, list his character traits. Apply traits to current day - is it better to be like Odysseus or the Cyclops?
