What educators are saying

This is an excellent resource! I used this with my students who can become easily disengaged, and this helped them stay on track and remember key pieces of information.

I can't say enough about Laura Randazzo's products. She creates the materials I would have created if I had the time/energy. It's like we share the same brain (but in a good way)! :)

Description

Use this lesson near the conclusion of your study of The Odyssey to help students not only dig back into the text, but also understand the real-life struggles that soldiers face as they return to civilian life. This 45-minute activity will introduce students to the criteria that psychiatrists use in diagnosing patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and then guide them to apply that information to a close analysis of Odysseus, king of Ithaca/Ithaka.

This activity will work with any translation (abridged or full-text) of Homer's epic poem that you use in your classroom.

Product includes:

• A detailed, step-by-step lesson procedure sheet (1-page PDF)

• Short video clip that provides an overview of PTSD symptoms (link included)

• Realistic-looking mental health form to be completed by your class of newly trained psychiatrists (1-page PDF)

• Completed key with suggested answers (1-page PDF)

Thanks for stopping by!
