From 3:15p to about 4:30p, I hosted an Odyssey Part One review session in my classroom. The bulk of the review was a massive powerpoint I built a few years ago.
Fortunately, it seemed to hold the attention of most students, and clear up some lingering questions.
Unfortunately, it contains a lot of context and background stories that are cut from the abridged version presented in the textbook.
For that reason, I'm not going to post the whole thing. It's rather clunky, and should a student open the file who did not attend the review session, I'm afraid it would be more confusing than helpful.
But I will post this: the first few slides that explain how in medias res works in the epic poem, as well as the timeline charting the adventures recalled by Odysseus in Part One. Many students took a picture of the timeline slide, so that might be helpful.
See you tomorrow!
