We started today off by having a short quiz on part one of Homer's Odyssey. As we used the CPS remotes to take the quiz, students learned of their scores immediately following the quiz.
After that, we cast parts and read a bunch of Part Two:
"Father and Son", "Argos", and "The Suitors" (page 631-640)
In today's reading, Odysseus returns home to Ithaca after 20 years away. He meets his son and his dog, Argos. Argos still recognizes Odysseus, even after 20 years. I felt that, in this way, the story relates to a recent story coming out of Japan after the tsunami:
Dog Will Not Abandon His Companion
It's so touching...
Have a great weekend, everyone!
