Essential Question: How can I answer a research question and synthesize multiple sources? How do we see Odysseus developing as a complex character? What impact does this have on the plot and theme of The Odyssey.
Standards: ELAGSE9-10W7: Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question and synthesize multiple sources on the subject ELAGSE9-10SL4: Present information, findings, and supporting evidence clearly, concisely, and logically ELAGSE9-10RL3: Analyze how complex characters(e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme
Opening:
Go back to "Sailing from Troy" and "The Lotus Eaters" and identify one action that helps you understand a character trait of Odysseus. Quote the text that demonstrates the action then explain how that trait is revealed through the action.
Work Session
1. Go over quiz questions from yesterday/ begin analyzing Odysseus's character traits.
