The students were definitely on their "A" game today, as they worked their seats off in class this morning and afternoon. To kick off the day, we finished watching the final video summary of Homer's Odyssey in class. The students' nailed every one of the comprehension questions and listened attentively. For the middle two blocks the students were given an in class assignment (see photos below) to choose a topic from the library books provided and to do a short research project. I was really impressed at how hard most of the students worked throughout, and the number of links they drew between the myth, legends, and information they were reading and more current stories they were familiar with. Great job!
