NEW WEEK: Monday, February 23

Today, instead of taking a quiz, we reviewed book 8 as a class. The students all wrote two questions about the book, and then in pairs, they answered others' questions.

Skype chats-tonight (Monday) 7-10 pm AND Thursday 7-10 pm for assistance on research papers and/or questions on the reading for the next day

Two new vocabulary words:
1) intrigue- scheme or plot; trickery; Poseidon's intrigue against Odysseus caused him many problems along his odyssey.
2) defile- to violate or corrupt; to make impure; It is rude to defile someone's property or character.
-Other words to know: odyssey, Greek for Calypso
**Vocabulary quiz FRIDAY**

Began creating our personal odysseys (timeline of our lives). Each student must include ten significant events that have occurred in his/her lifetime. These are due tomorrow (Tuesday).

Read book 9 for Tuesday.
