Pre-AP English 9
Students took their first perissology test in class today. Afterwards, we reviewed the introductory paragraphs that they wrote regarding the veterans article that we read. After reviewing their paragraph, students had the opportunity to write another introductory paragraph regarding Book IX of The Odyssey.
Homework: Students need to read Book X of The Odyssey by Friday.
Students in sixth period need to complete the introductory paragraphs that they began in class today. Here is the prompt:
"Contrary to
modern-day notions of bravery and hospitality, the episode between Polyphemus
and Odysseus portrays a convoluted picture of heroism that blurs the line
between hero and villain, protagonist and antagonist. Think carefully about what you read in the
text and in a well-organized essay, describe how Homer characterizes either
Odysseus or Polyphemus."
Reading the Bible as Literature
We discussed The Epic of Gilgamesh in class today.
Homework: Students need to get their notes together in preparation for the Genesis 4-10 test which will be given on Monday.
