Cyclops & LoTD Listening

The Odyssey In Multimedia!

Both Visual & Aural!

First, students got to compare and contrast their book's telling of the Cyclops story with this video clip (from the 1997 film The Odyssey, and no, we didn't watch the whole thing. Just one scene).

It's possible that there are other clips from the movie out there.

I'm just not going to link them here.

Pursue at your own risk.

Then, students listened to a British Broadcasting Company radio-play production of The Odyssey. In this clip, Odysseus and a handful of his men travel to the underworld to seek guidance from Teiresias. They run into some people that they...weren't expecting.
Here's a link to the audio clip from the Land of the Dead!

Students listened along and filled out this worksheet as they did. The top chart goes with the audio, and the bottom questions accompany the reading passage Land of The Dead in the textbooks.

HW:

• Read Land of the Dead and complete the questions on the bottom of the document.
• Read
• The Sirens, and
• Scylla and Charybdis
• For Monday
