Telemachus Sketch Journal Entry:

Based on the descriptions of Telemachus during Books 1 and 2, sketch a quick picture of him. Be sure to include the elements of his appearance that Homer clearly describes. Then, write down four quotes from the text that support your drawing. Two of these quotes must be examples of direct characterization, and two must be examples of indirect characterization. For your example of indirect characterization, include a sentence “unpacking” what we are to indirectly understand about Telemachus. Scenes to consider: --When Athena first encounters Telemachus --The beginning of the assembly day when Telemachus goes to make his speech to the community --Telemachus' discussion with Athena on the beach after the assembly --The end of Bk 2 when Telemachus sails off to look for news of his father

HW: We are not going to read Books 3 and 4 as a class, and instead will summarize them. While online summaries are useful tools, they never replace reading entirely. However, for some parts of //The Odyssey//, we'll rely on them to help connect plot information between parts that we actively study in class. So, while you can read both books--challenge option-- for this assignment, I'm going to give the option of reading an online summary and practicing paraphrasing skills. For your summary, you need to list the five most important events (in your own words) for each book. I suggest using shmoop.com for this assignment, but whatever source you use, cite it.
