ODY RVW Part 2

Today, students reviewed Part 2 of The Odyssey. I had a handy powerpoint that I used in class to spur things along, and illustrate particular stories. No, I'm not going to post it here. Please review your textbook, not my powerpoint, to prepare for tomorrow's quiz.

As a special and rare treat, I also shared with my classes the scene from the 1997 film, The Odyssey, in which "the crusty old beggar" passes Penelope's archery contest, and transforms into his true form before the dazzled crowd of suitors.

Just so you know, curricular movies are not some kind of mystical secret jealously guarded by the English Teacher cabal. You just type "The Odyssey" into the YouTube search bar. Watch it whenever you want, I don't care. But don't get mad when I won't show it in class. It's right there waiting for you.

HW:

  • Study for ODY Part 2 Quiz tomorrow.
  • Also, we'll take a Membean quiz, if I can track down a mobile lab. I owe you one that got pushed because of TNReady.
