1. Reading the section called "Tell the Story" on page 751 of the textbook: We will read this on a separate sheet of paper so that students may annotate and write in the margins. The goal is to interact with the text inasmuch as possible to allow Homer's words to feel more accessible. We will ultimately summarize in groups the meaning of this section, as it gives a brief overview of all that is to come in the epic. We will add key terms like "invocation" and "epithet" to our notes, as those are displayed in this section.
2. Adding to our Cornell Notes: I have a PowerPoint (attached below) that gives a brief overview of certain sections from the introductory piece. If any of these are missing, students should make additions to their existing notes accordingly. Students may also complete the questions and summary sections if they have not already done so.
3. Reading pages 752-752, aka the section called "Calypso, the Sweet Nymph": Students will read this and answer study questions over it in complete sentences, and they should clarify any questions/confusion they have about the selection of reading before leaving on Tuesday.
To access the textbook online from home, go to my.hrw.com. Enter the username mrsheltonscl and the password x5a6u. The pagination is the same in the online version as it is in the hardcover textbook at school.
I will be out at a Guided Inquiry Design training the Monday-Wednesday of the week we return from Thanksgiving, so the note-taking and text-interaction skills that they will practice in these two days should help them to work independently with success in my absence.
