Wednesday 11/20

Tuesday's blog page did not display well, which may explain why a lot of you did not do the assignments.

So now you have another chance!

Although the Quia sets below are set up like Quizzes, I want you to consider them practice exercises. You can take the practice sets  unlimited times and you will see the correct answers right after you finish each question. THIS IS PRACTICE, however, you must do them several times or receive a failing grade. Quia tells me how many times you each took (to the end) each practice set. It also tells me how much time you spent on each question. 

In other words, take these several times and take them seriously. Eventually these practice sets will be real tests. So you want to use the sets to really practice, study and learn. 

Intellegistis?

Task 02 (approximately 45 minutes)

Read Ego Polyphemus in pairs or small groups. Read each sentence aloud. Take turns translating, sentence by sentence. Once you have a translated sentence that the group agrees on, write it down along with any questions that the group has. Each student should take a picture of their translated sentences once you have done approximately 10, submit to Google Classroom; then move on and repeat. 

Task 03. Assignments from yesterday. (15 minutes)

Read this short Encylopedia Mythica article about Polyphemus the Cyclops. Although Homer's tale of Odysseus and Polyphemus is the most famous story, other ancient authors present a more sympathetic view of the Cyclops.

Search the web for ANCIENT images of Polyphemus. What kind of divine being is Polyphemus. Who were his parents?

Then, sharing iPads watch this TedEd video (4 minutes) Everything you need to know to read the Odyssey.
