Our goal: To understand what The Iliad was about, it's affect on both Classical and contemporary cultures, as well as its significance as a literary work.
How: You will design an essential question and a lesson plan to teach the answer to your peers. You Should think not just about your own presentation style, but also what your peers are doing as a learning activity. You will have a 35 minute block to lead us to understanding in any way you please. Consider that you could lead a discussion, assign a journal, display multimedia or tell a story in your own way. How do you like to learn? Give us a learning experience.
When: How about next week? We'll start on Monday and go forward until Wednesday 9/21.
My hit list of topics:
- Historical background (Trojan War)
- Historical background (Homer and Greece)
- Content (We need to know the story well)
- Structure (How is this written? What meanings can we draw from researching the way Homer composed this)
- Influence/Significance (What affect has this story had on the world?)
HW: On block day, you must give me a written proposal of your project.
