Technie Tuesday...The Odyssey Lesson Plan and Online Tools

techie tuesday treasures

During the first semester of this school year, I have substitute taught The Odyssey a dozen different times at four different high schools.  I just spotted the following web tool on a blog titled Free Technology for Teachers that I thought might jazz up the unit.

The Hero's Journey is an online writing activity produced by Read Write Think. It is an interactive resource that teaches students about the key elements required in developing a myth about a heroic character. The lessons are based on stories like The Odyssey. Completed stories must be printed in order to be saved.

Below is a lesson plan to teach before doing The Hero's Journey.
