Today is test day! In class, we took a quiz on all of our words of the day that we have had up to this point in class, as well as the second part of The Odyssey. After students finished the quiz, we discussed epic conventions, e.g. the parts of an epic that make it truly epic! We discussed how an epic poem's story arc differs from the normal Freytag story arc in subtle ways. We also discussed how the epic story is still alive and well today in many modern books and movies.
AHSGE Reading Review
We're on a quest! Or at least, we're reading and watching stories that are about quests. We continued the past few days' emphasis on comparing and contrasting several different quest stories.
