What educators are saying

Great resource! Kids really appreciated getting up and moving around. Kids worked in teams to complete each station.
I loved these station activities and so did my students. They were invested in their work while rotating through the stations and stayed on task because they only had a limited time to finish the "fun" assignments. I loved all the different activities! This was an excellent resource.

Description

This will make a great addition to your Odyssey Unit. These stations include a graphic organizer, parody, Homeric Simile, art annotation, dynamic character, and a constructed response prompt about the epic hero. Try out this engaging and entertaining formative assessment. With a bit of preparation and careful instructions, students can rotate through several epic-based activities with simply a “rotate” from the teacher every 9-10 minutes. The station set contains 12 options for your literacy stations. I would select 8 that best fit your class.

Using stations with older students creates interest and adds engagement to any lesson. A student who was previously listless will sit up and take notice when asked to work as a team to accomplish several tasks in a timely manner. The stations are fast-moving and usually produce a product. Upper-level students enjoy the fast pace and high interest in station work. This activity takes a little planning, but when in process, the educational component becomes a student-driven learning experience.

This learning structure really lets the teachers become the facilitator and the student becomes the creator. It’s that 80% vs. 20% relationship that we all strive for.

I hope you enjoy this set of stations and that you come back and visit my TPT to give some feedback. If you would like me to create stations for a specific novel or short story---just let me know (post on my question board). Click the green star in the right corner to follow me and you will be sent a notice when I post new learning stations.

I know you and your students will really enjoy this innovative teaching style.

--Irene I.

5.0⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I just used this with my 9th grade classes. Because of time constraints, I chose the four that best fit my students' needs. They were engaged the entire class and these activities led to some great discussions. They also helped my students understand the value of textual evidence. Thanks for this product."
