ODYSSEY QUEST:

Here is an excellent place to start your investigation
of Homer's Odyssey. With online resources to Ancient
Greece, the Olympians, and mythology, you'll find sever-
al sites to explore from this webquest alone. Students
will be conducting research to recount the journey of
Odysseus from the point of view of one of his characters.

Try creating a class play to develop "The Odyssey" from
a different angle. Storyboards, research cards, diagrams,
and templates are all available within the webquest.

HOMERIC ITHACA:

something of historic Ithaca. This site provides his-
tory, architecture, archaeology, and even a rebuttal
to the argument against it being Homer's stage.

acters and events in "The Odyssey".

One of the great things about the Web is the
amazing resources that are there for teachers
and students to tap into. Now take this site
which is devoted to making annotated museum
collections available on the web for anyone to
peruse. Not only are there organized resources
but there is quite a bit of background and
teaching materials as well as lists of books
and websites for further investigation. What
better way to learn about ancient civilizations
or African peoples.

ANCIENT GREECE ACROSS THE CURRICULUM:

The past links up with the present through these cross-
curricular activities on Ancient Greek culture. Stu-
dents will be asked to compare and contrast Greek myths,
look at the science of archaeology, and look at stan-
dard versus metric measurements through a wide variety
of hands-on measuring activities. Students handouts,
quizzes, and vocabulary pages are included.
