At this point, this is our work for this week.
- Monday at home: Read Book VIII of The Odyssey. The audio is available here at ExplainTheOdyssey.Weebly.com A snow day is a perfect reading day.
- Tuesday in Class: Working with a partner co-write a literary analysis paragraph--using the paragraph rubric--that analyzes an important theme in a specific book of The Odyssey. I will tell you which book to use. (If, by some quirk of fate, there is no school on Tuesday, read Book IX--also an excellent book! The final paragraphs will be posted on my Odyssey website--and to your blogs in an Odyssey Portfolio.
- Wednesday-Friday in Class: WW Fenn recitations: We will start recitations on Wednesday to Thursday to chose our class winners.
- Blogging: CHANGE!!! We will continue our daily blogging. Consider downloading the app Day One. It is a great app for daily blogging that helps you set up times to blog and operate via logging in to a site or via a quick pop up window. It works great on computers, phones and iPads.
