Periods 1 and 2 – Due Nov. 20th                           Period 3 – Due Nov. 21st
Using 10 or more appropriately sized frames, you are expected to create a comic strip containing detailed illustrations depicting the main points of Homer's Odyssey, as read in class. Your comic strip should tell a story from beginning to end. This is your chance to be creative, so have some fun. Your comic can be no more than 2 pages and it is worth 26 points.
Students must include the following main events in their comic strip:
1. Odysseus leaving Troy
2. Odysseus’ ship blown off course
3. The crew land’s on the Cyclope’s island
4. Tell what happened on the Cyclope island
5. Tell how the crew ended up at Circe’s island
6. Explain what happened on Circe’s island
7. Tell what happened when they came near the Sirens
8. Explain the Charbidis and Scylla event
9. Explain what happened when Odyssess met Calypso
10. Tell what happened when Odysseus returned home

Differentiation Assignment Choices: (Only choose one)
1. The Odyssey read in class did not include all of the journeys and obstacles Odysseus’ faced. Do some
research on your own to find out what was missing from our in class reading. Then create a comic that
explains all of Odysseus’ challenges.
2. Instead of illustrating the Odyssey, do some additional research to create a comic strip depicting the
main points of Homer’s Iliad which covers the Trojan War.
3. You must site your sources on the back of your comic strip.

Be sure to include the following in your comic strip:
*Put name, period, and date, at the top of the paper.
*Create a clever title. Do not use "The Odyssey" or "The Iliad" as the title.
*Each frame must depict an important event from the Odyssey or Iliad.
*Captions and/or dialogue should be clearly explained.
*The drawings should be interesting and appropriate.
*The drawings, etc. must be colored appropriately.
*The comic strip and/or writing must be neatly presented.
* Be sure to edit for grammatical errors.
*All drawings should be done with care and contain no stick figures.
*If pencil is used, trace over all pencil with a thin marker, black, or gray colored
pencil. Remember each frame and figure must be colored.
