English I students began a new unit on the Odyssey, reading the opening lines and going over some expectations about the epic form we’ll be studying.

This included the non-linear nature of the narrative:

English 8 students continued with the narrative writing. We’ll have one or two more days of writing before completing the short unit.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: 
  • read the rest of the opening lines of the Odyssey;
  • read the “Calypso” section of the Odyssey (Don’t be surprised if we have a quiz on the readings.)
