Unit
Learning goal: At the end of
this unit, students will be able to show an understanding of the Odyssey as an
Epic Poem by creating a video or power point that lists the epic elements of the Odyssey,
discusses how Odysseus fits the role of the Epic Hero, and summaries the book
into six parts.
FINAL PROJECTS: PART 1: Breaking the
Odyssey up into six parts, each part with a title, a description of the
action. Giving an overarching theme.
PART 2: A) Discuss with examples of how Odysseus fits the role 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: maybe talk
about the Cyclops, Circe, the Underworld and Odysseus homecoming.
