This project asks you to read analytically, write interpretively, think visually, and create with technology.  

 

Your project will convey the ways in which Telemachus makes progress in coming of age in books 1-4 of the Odyssey.

 

You can use either Google Maps Engine Lite or the Hstry timeline creator to make your project. See resources below.

 

 

Requirements:

• 7+ quotations, including citations of book and line number, like:  (4.100-111)

• Commentary for each quotation in which you explain how it shows Telemachus making progress (or not) in areas like public speaking, leadership, and self-assurance

• 4+ images, at least one of which must be an original one you take. Images need the urls of their sources (remember, not just the solo image page, but the actual web page it came from)

• 1 video with brief text explaining what it is and how it relates (this can be related in any way, such as a documentary about quinceaneras)

• 1 article with brief text explaining what it is and how it relates (this can be related in any way, such as an article about bar and bat mitzvahs)

• A concluding entry with a short paragraph about Telemachus’ progress

 

 

Extra awesomenesses:

• An original Google map in your timeline

• Multiple original photos

• Edited photos with filters, cropping, etc. applied

• More?
