Wednesday, Scylla & Charybdis

Objective: By the end of class, students will demonstrate reading comprehension and gain insight on character and relationships.

DO NOW

What does the word "Odyssey mean"? Why is the story we are reading called THE ODYSSEY? What is it referring to on a superficial level and then on a deeper level?

1. Read THE MONSTERS

2. View until Odysseus lands on Island of Circe.

3. Imagine you are Telemachus. You believe your father, Odysseus, is still alive. Write a letter to him explaining what is happening on Ithaca. Also, be sure to ask him questions and tell him how you feel. (remember, Telemachus has an identity crisis and abandonment issues).

Exit pass

What do you predict will happen next?
