Mythology/Odyssey Unit Week 1

Separate Peace and the Hobbit are (finally) over, and now, after Choices Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be in the midst of the Greek mythology and The Odyssey to finish the nine weeks.
The planner (with revised calendar for the literary terms) is available, as are the literary terms, which will be tested October 3rd and 9th.
The first assignment is the Pre-Odyssey research on the Greek gods, which has three sections (Sections 1 and 2 are due Thursday, Section 3 is Monday).

Greek Mythology links:
  • Greek Mythology.com. Great site for section 1 and 2
  • Mythweb, a popular Greek myth site with illustrations
  • Greek Mythology from the Iliad to the Tyrants is an advanced source for mythology lovers and those who want to have a deeper examination into Greek myth.
  • Greek Mythology Link has charts, maps, dictionaries, etc. Another good source for those of you, especially if you are doing the extra creditQ
