Webquest: Homer's Odyssey
This is a great introduction lesson for students before they read Homer's Odyssey. Building background knowledge is one of the keys to reading comprehension. When you have more knowledge to make connections to while you read, you are more likely to understand and remember that information you have read. This online activity will help students build their knowledge of Homer, literature terms, life in ancient Greece, and Greek mythology.

The final "Big Question" requires students to make learning relevant to their own lives and truly make learning meaningful. I used it after reading chapter 7, but you could r
