ENGLISH – 3rd trimester – Day 9
· Watch Odysseus and the Cyclops (parts 1 & 2)
· Watch 2-minute Cyclops cartoon…http://www.nicertube.com/e0e5jw23
· Watch The Odyssey – Cyclops Cave – EPIC FAIL
· Continue working/writing your Fractured Cyclops story:
· To begin, sign in to one of your GOOGLE DOCS accounts, make a timeline that labels 15 main events from the Cyclops’ story – from beginning to end.
· Next, choose one of the 6 big problems from today’s warm-up as your CYCLOPS.
· Search google for “google template gallery” – choose PUBLIC TEMPLATES tab then search for a “VENN” to complete the next section:
o Using a template, create a VENN DIAGRAM (two intersecting circles) with Cyclops in one circle and your choice for #5 (above) in the other circle.
o Then list 4 things they have in common and 2 things that are unique to each.
· Next, decide on a theme…In other words, what deep message do you think the author hoped we would learn about life after reading his story? ON A NEW GOOGLE DOC, type your theme at the top…like a heading…
§ Nothing obvious…do not write that we should stay away from one-eyed monsters. This is NOT theme. Themes are deeper than that.
· Using your timeline (see #4), decide which events to keep and which to change.
· Begin writing your Fractured Cyclops story…based on your choices in #8. Start at the beginning of the story...
