Odyssey - Everyone Dies
Today we need to discuss Books 21-24. I'll give you a brief overview and then I'll take questions on the final project if you have any.
5/14 Final Projects Due
FINAL PROJECTS: Two Part Video (on FLIPGRID) - PART 1: Breaking the Odyssey up into six parts, each part with a title, a description of the action. Giving an overarching theme to the book and giving at least three examples of this theme. (this video should be 8-10 minutes long)
PART 2: A) Discuss with examples of how Odysseus fits the rold of an EPIC HERO (lists how if reinforces values the Greeks held dear); His Tragic Flaw; How he is morally superior to those around him; and how has the Gods on his side. B) Discuss how the Odyssey starts in the middle of things and how it reinforces the idea of journey: particularly talk about the Cyclops, Circe, the Underworld and Odysseus homecoming.
