Today we'll begin with 15 minutes of reading. I'll squeeze in a few conferences while you read.
Next, we'll get back to The Odyssey by reading "The Lotus Eaters" and "The Cyclops." Remember, these stories are being told by Odysseus himself at the court of King Alcinous AFTER he has already spent 10 years trying to get back home to Ithaca. He is explaining what happened to him and his men after the war.
As we read "The Cyclops," we'll also listen to an audio version that follows another translation. Listen to the story as you follow along in our text. What is the same? What do you notice that's different? How can we account for these differences?
Remember to take notes on your Active Reading chart as we go!
