It must have been boring, but to pass the time they may have created chants and
songs to take ease the boredom and create energy for the various rowing strokes
(racing, storm, beaching, etc…). Create a chant or song that Odysseus and his
crew may have used.
3. Use a popular TV show theme song and adapt it to an episode or to the journey.
For example, “Gillian’s Island” or “The Partridge Family.” There are many
websites with lyrics for TV show theme songs from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s
and today.
Naturalist Project
1. Think of The Odyssey as one long field trip. Identify and create a field guide to
the various plants, animals, geographic locations, indigenous species, and
inhabitants that Odysseus visits that showcase nature and its wonders. You may
focus on one episode or multiple episodes. Your field guide should include
scientific names, pictures or drawings and brief descriptions.
2. Create an Odyssey museum tour. Think of all the things you could put on display
in a museum from Odysseus’s journey. You may use the format of a PowerPoint,
Photo Story, brochure, audio walking tour, etc… You may use photos of Greek
vases, famous paintings or sculptures, etc…
3. Imagine that you are part of a scientific team that discovers a perfectly
preserved body of Polyphemus in a cave on Cyclops Island. Discuss what your
examination of the body reveals about how Polyphemus lived, was wounded and
died.
