__**Thursday 4/25**__

__Today we will be watching clips from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" -- a movie that is based off of Homer's //Odyssey//.__

__As we watch the clips, I want you to be able to respond thoughtfully about what you're seeing and apply it to what you know about the //Odyssey//.__

__Here's how we will accomplish this:__

__1) You will be logged in to wikispaces and will have access to the discussion board, and MS Word should be open and ready to go.__ __2) We will watch the clip as a class.__ __3) You will respond to this prompt in MS Word after every clip, and a few minutes will be given for you to write each response before the next clip is shown:__

__"What scene in the //Odyssey// does this clip represent? How do you know this? What are the similarities? Differences? Cite evidence from the text and from the movie."__ __Format your responses as a "perfect paragraph," even if the response is only a few sentences long. Grammar, spelling, punctuation should all be correct, and there should be a clear thought__ __or message to what you're typing. Structure your response to look like this:__

__Clip 1: This scene represents XYXYXYXYX in the //Odyssey// to me because.....__

__Clip 2: This scene represents XYXYXYXYX in the //Odyssey// to me because.....__

__Clip 3: This scene represents XYXYXYXYX in the //Odyssey// to me because.....__

__4) Before class ends, you will copy and paste what you have in the MS Word document to the wikispaces discussion board and send it for a 10-point participation grade.__ __You will be graded on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and evidence shown that links what you're seeing to the //Odyssey//.__

__Good luck!__
