Classwork

Today in class we reviewed the work we did on our Unit 6 Vocabulary Packets.  As we corrected our vocabulary work, we looked for evidence showing words we understood really well and words we didn't know well.  After reviewing our vocabulary work, we assessed Odysseus's epic hero status.  We gave Odysseus a grade for his overall performance in each of our 4 epic hero categories: superhuman strength and craftiness, emerges victorious from perilous situations, helped and harmed by gods, and embodies ideals that a his/her culture considers admirable.  Click here to view today's powerpoint or scroll down to the bottom of the page.
