The Odyssey Graphic Novel by Gareth Hinds Worksheets for Entire Book
I created these worksheets for Gareth Hinds's graphic novel version of The Odyssey. Please do not purchase this if you are teaching from a different version.
I divided the graphic novel into eleven roughly equal reading sections and created a worksheet (and answer key) for each. I procured the graphic novels for a class with many students that struggle with reading, so these worksheets may not be appropriate for a higher-level class. Refer to the preview for an idea of my work.

Once Upon a Time: Literary Criticism Taught Through Fairy Tales
Literary criticism should be utilized “in order to make what is implicit in a book finely explicit” (Bloom, 2000, p. 19). Readers, students and teachers, should use the tools of critical literary theory and not be used by them. Literary criticism is a method of understanding, but the theory relies on developing self-understanding as well, and it is that desire to understand ourselves and the world that pushes me and my students to read. I created this model of using critical literary theory lens

The Odyssey Abridged!!!
I spent 12 years condensing and honing the Fagles translation of the Odyssey so my students in the Bronx could read it. I've never liked any other translation, and the original text is over 400 pages long.The text here stays true to the story and translation but leaves a lot of stuff out that is not necessary for the full appreciation of the story (we could probably do without reading about ALL of the people that go to Odysseus in The Kingdom of the Dead).

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners.

Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information.
