Abstract
The content objectives will focus on having completed reading sections of the Odyssey by Homer, and then to compare and contrast the archetypes, Hero’s Journey, and characterization, and distinctive world views. I would like students to also use personal reflection to connect to the Heroes and their journey. Much of that will be with personal journaling, and writing exercises focused on prompts that are related to empathy. By the end of the unit, I would like students to create their own poster of their personal hero journey. I would like them to illustrate and write a response explaining their poster.
