Today, we got all the background information on the Odyssey.
We read a play called "The Judgment of Paris". Students played parts in the play. This play is the story of the Golden Apple of Discord, which eventually caused the 10 year Trojan War. Full text of this play can be found online at:

We also watched two YouTube videos that described the happenings of the Trojan War and how clever Odysseus figured out a way to win the war. These videos can be found at:

Or, to find the videos, you can just type "Ulysses and the Trojan horse" into YouTube's search bar.
Finally, we did some work on Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes.
This activity can be found online at:

Or just type "prefixes say plenty" into Google's search bar and click on the first result. It should be "TV 411- Prefixes Say Plenty."
