__Task 1, Books I-IV__ As the gossip columnists for the //Ithaca Gazette//, you are assigned to report on the latest details of the town’s celebrities. This week, your editor asks you to profile of Telemachos, future King of Ithaca and, therefore, the town’s most eligible bachelor. Create his profile, including "show me" examples to prove his attractive qualities

__Task 2, Books V, VI, and IX__ Recently, the //Ithaca Gazette// published a news story, recounting the events/details of Books V-IX. As the “Etiquette Editor” charged with commenting on citizens’ behavior and providing advice for a proper civilization, you have been receiving many letters, asking for your evaluation of Odysseus’ behavior and that of his various hosts. Considering proper customs and culture of the time, what advice/commentary would you give to your readers? Consider a creative format for your response.

__ Task 3, Books X-XII __

The Associated Press releases a report that a man similar to Odysseus has been spotted crossing over to the Underworld – looking very much alive! Upon hearing the news, your boss, the editor of //Ithaca Weekly//, dispatches you to the scene for the scoop. The public wants to know if Odysseus is in fact dead, and if he’s not, what he’s doing in the Underworld. Write an article, including eyewitness accounts and quotations from participants. Make sure to take your photographer with you! Your editor limits your article to 550-750 words due to space constraints, as Apollo has been raining down plague again, and this event has taken front page.
