Warm Up

1. Warm Up You need one of each of the sheets on the front table. You will need one slip of paper from the bucket (either yellow or green). Complete the half-sheet based on the handouts you received.

2. Warm Up You need a legal-sized sheet of white paper only! Quick write: What quote from the Odyssey Part I is most telling of Odysseus’ character and role as the epic hero? Why? Blend the quote in your answer (paragraph) and document it using MLA format

3. Announcements • Eligibility: Friday, October 5 • All late/make-up work due Friday: no exceptions • Test Friday over Odyssey Part I

4. Odyssey Storyboard Review This review activity will be collected for a formative grade on Friday. You will have the entire class period to work on this assignment.

5. What is a Storyboard? • Cartoonists, writers, advertisers, filmmakers, and television producers use storyboards to lay out storylines and plots on paper before they begin production.

6. How will we make a storyboard? • You will divide your paper into 9 squares. • For each square, you will select a significant theme from Part 1 of the Odyssey. • On one side of the square, you will create an illustration to capture the action of that scene. They need to be colored, but stick figures are fine. • On the back of the square, you will write 2-3 sentences that explain what is happening in that scene and what makes that scene important.

7. What will I be looking for? • Identify scenes that are significant to the development of the Hero’s Journey or to the development of Odysseus’ character. • In each explanation will you need to pull a quote from that section of the epic poem. • The quote will need to be properly blended and given the correct internal documentation.

8. Blending Quotes • Blending quotes is when you take a snippet from the book and blend it with your own analysis. • Snippets should be about 7 – 12 words • You must include documentation after the quote

9. Let’s look at an example… • Ishmael was a murderer “I pulled the trigger and I killed a man”. (This quote isn’t blended; it’s just a run- on sentence. In addition, there isn’t any MLA documentation.) (Homer II. 2-5). • Ishmael’s violent personality is revealed when he says, “I pulled the trigger and I killed a man” (Beah 119). (This quote is blended and documented with analysis from the writer)

10. Documenting the Odyssey • Instead of adding a page number like you would for a novel, document the book the quote is from (using Roman numerals) and the line number(s) of the quote with a period in between the book and line numbers (Homer V. 83-84) • The period goes after the documentation Ex: When Odysseus says, “each day I long for home, long for the sight of home,” it’s clear that he is in his decision moment of the Hero’s Journey because he is choosing Penelope over immortality (Homer V. 83 – 84).

11. Things to Note… • The quote can be blended at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence. If it’s at the end, close out the quotes, add the documentation, and then add the period. (For example, Odysseus’ hubris is evident when he says “quotequotequote” (Homer Book #. Line #s). • Summary is different from analysis. I want to see your thoughts, not something I can look up in the book. • Literature is always referred to in present tense (When Odysseus is on Calypso’s island, When Odysseus gauges Polyphemus’ eye…)
