Eligibility: Friday, October 5
All late/make-up work due Friday: no exceptions
Test Friday over Odyssey Part I
This review activity will be
collected for a formative
grade on Friday. You will
have the entire class
period to work on this
assignment.

Cartoonists, writers, advertisers, filmmakers,
and television producers use storyboards to
lay out storylines and plots on paper before
they begin production.

You will divide your paper into 9 squares.
For each square, you will select a significant theme
from Part 1 of the Odyssey.
On one side of the square, you will create an
illustration to capture the action of that scene.
They need to be colored, but stick figures are fine.
On the back of the square, you will write 2-3
sentences that explain what is happening in that
scene and what makes that scene important.



Identify scenes that are significant to the
development of the Hero’s Journey or to the
development of Odysseus’ character.
In each explanation will you need to pull a
quote from that section of the epic poem.
The quote will need to be properly blended
and given the correct internal documentation.
 Blending
quotes is when you take a snippet
from the book and blend it with your own
analysis.
 Snippets
 You
should be about 7 – 12 words
must include documentation after the
quote
Ishmael was a murderer “I pulled the trigger
and I killed a man”.
(This quote isn’t blended; it’s just a runon sentence. In addition, there isn’t any
MLA documentation.) (Homer II. 2-5).

Ishmael’s violent personality is revealed when
he says, “I pulled the trigger and I killed a
man” (Beah 119).
(This quote is blended and documented
with analysis from the writer)


Instead of adding a page number like you would
for a novel, document the book the quote is from
(using Roman numerals) and the line number(s) of
the quote with a period in between the book and
line numbers (Homer V. 83-84)
The period goes after the documentation
Ex: When Odysseus says, “each day I long for
home, long for the sight of home,” it’s clear
that he is in his decision moment of the Hero’s
Journey because he is choosing Penelope over
immortality (Homer V. 83 – 84).



The quote can be blended at the beginning, in the
middle, or at the end of a sentence. If it’s at the end,
close out the quotes, add the documentation, and
then add the period. (For example, Odysseus’ hubris
is evident when he says “quotequotequote” (Homer
Book #. Line #s).
Summary is different from analysis. I want to see
your thoughts, not something I can look up in the
book.
Literature is always referred to in present tense (When
Odysseus is on Calypso’s island, When Odysseus
gauges Polyphemus’ eye…)
