=Unit: Characters of __The Odyssey__=

The 6th graders will read a graphic novel version of __The Odyssey__ in Social Studies as part of their Ancient Greek unit. They will then be assigned a character from the story to research. Once research is complete they will write a paragraph in their character's voice describing their role in Odysseus' journey. In Art they will create a clay mask that will incorporate character traits and any other information that will display the students knowledge of the story and character. The student will then take a digital photo of the mask and upload it to Voicethread where they will read their paragraph and respond to one another in character.
