The Odyssey – Comic Strip
Cyclops

You are creating a comic strip detailing the adventures of Odysseus and his men on the island of
the Cyclops.
To make your comic strip work, you will need to create six panels – a Sunday comic. (A Sunday
comic, you might recall, is always color; yours should be colored too.)
Each panel will represent one of the six points on the plot line - exposition, introduction of
conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
a. Your choice of these six important parts of the Cyclops episode should therefore
reflect/retell the story accurately.
b. You'll need to choose the lines and hand them in separately before beginning your comic
strip. On that page, write the parts of the plot line, the lines you chose, and then 2-3
sentences explaining how the line you chose fits that part of the plot line.
Each box will have text beneath it showing what part of the story is illustrated. That text must be
a direct quote from the story and have the line number(s) in parentheses after it. You may
invent short bits of dialogue to put inside the box itself.
