Teachers

Teachers __Task 1, Books I- IV__ You have been helping your students examine modern and archetypal representations of heroes, and your classes have #|read "The Power of Myth" and //The Iliad//. You want to develop a lesson that will lead students to connect/compare/contrast the hero in //The Iliad// (Achilles) to the only hero they know so far in //The Odyssey// (Telemachos) using "The Power of Myth" and perhaps their modern conceptions of the definition of a hero. Write lesson plans to achieve these objectives. Make sure to include **targets**, **activities**, and **assignments**. Your lesson should be realistic. Remember -- you must develop any handouts you plan on using and post them to your wiki! Handout:

__Task 2, Books V, VI, and IX __ Your students have just completed Books V, VI, and IX. How would you assess their knowledge of plot and character? You may create a test with an answer key, essay assignment, or project. You must then decide how the assessment will be graded. Test grades are self-explanatory, but essays and projects will require a rubric, which you must post with your assignment.

__ Task 3, Books X-XII __ Design a lesson and activity for your students to complete to help them process the reading. Particularly, how can your students examine the sequence of events and the cause and effect of Odysseus' and his crew's decision making? Keep in mind that Odysseus and his men encounter many different people/monsters during Books X through XII. For this task, your group should create **targets**, **activities**, and **assignments** for your lesson. Consider possibly including more than one activity (group/pair work?) and/or whole class discussion. Include any handouts/organizers, rubrics, discussion questions, and answers that a teacher might need to prepare for the class.
