The Children’s Homer – Part Two Assignment

We did a packet for The Iliad.  This is your reading assignment for The Odyssey.  It is due Tuesday, January 24, BOC. The test over the whole book is Thursday, January 26. 

The Children’s Homer – Part Two – The Odyssey

As you read The Odyssey – the story of Odysseus’ trip home from the Trojan War, you will notice Odysseus (and his men) face many adventures, trials, and tests.  Pick THREE (3) of these adventures and do the following for EACH:

• ·         Create a visual representation of the climactic moment from this particular adventure.
• ·         Copy down a phrase or sentence that best captures the MOOD of this adventure and put it UNDER the visual. (Remember quotation format – examples below.)  
• ·         Put a title ABOVE the picture. 

EX:  “Nor will he give up digging about in my past” (68).                 [This was narration in the book.]

EX:  “ ‘You’re such a lucky lad to know all this…’ ” (68).                  [This was dialogue in the book.]

EX:  “Word for word from the book” (34).                 [Direct quotes must match the original, exactly.]

EX: “Remember !, ? and … go inside the quotation marks!” (67).    [The period goes at the very end.]

For those who lost their Revolution instructions/rubric

Age of Revolution

Revolution  (noun)

1.    the usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and start a new one;

2.    a sudden, extreme, or complete change in the way people live and work.

The Age of Revolution is the period from approximately 1775 to 1848 when several significant revolutionary movements occurred in Europe and the Americas. 

You and your group will research and present one of the following revolutions that occurred in Europe during the Age of Revolution.

v  Scientific Revolution

v  Industrial Revolution

v  American Revolution (from Great Britain’s point of view)

v  French Revolution

v  Russian Revolution

Find the following information about your revolution and include all in your presentation.

·         When did the revolution begin?

·         Where did the revolution begin?

·         What events led to the revolution?

·         Who were the individuals or groups of people who were involved in the revolution?

·         What happened during the revolution?

·         How did life change for the people because of the revolution?

·         Were there negative results for any of the people?

·         Is there a connection between your revolution and any of the other revolutions?

·         How is life different for us today because of the revolution?

Divide and Conquer!

You will have two class periods to research your revolution and plan your presentation, but in order to complete the research in time to work on your presentation, you will need to divide the information you are looking for among the people in your group.  I would suggest you have TWO people responsible for each questions so they can compare answers. You will have enough class time to plan and prepare your presentation if you use your time wisely.

There are several methods you might choose to present your revolution to the class.  Decide which would be the best for the members of your group and for presenting your revolution.
