Complete reading and annotating The Odyssey Books 10 and 12. Your annotations, either on Post-its (if you are reading a school copy) or in the margins (if you are reading a print-out of the Web version or your own copy) should include summaries, epiphanies, and commentary on literary devices. Also, continue to compile your own personal Odyssey dictionary.

Due Wednesday, February 12, 2011
Bring all required supplies, including your Odyssey book, if one was checked out to you.
Due Monday, February 28, 2011
Complete the crafting of your Odyssey puppet show.
Bring to class puppets, stage and a script. The presentation component will be later - perhaps much later - and will be for separate points.
If you are video-taping your show and uploading it onto youtube, you don't need to bring the stage - just the puppets and the script. But you must upload it and e-mail me the link before class begins on Monday.
The title and cast pages do not count in the ten pages.
Ten pages of dialogue is easy and can be fun.
Ten pages of script is about the same as two pages of essay.
Yes you can!
