Week of Monsters: Odysseus and the Lotos-Eaters (Poetry Activity)
Part of my "Week of Odysseus's Monsters", this lesson plan is part of a weekly plan in my Odyssey unit. This awesome activity is designed for classroom environments that have access to 1:1 technology. Rent a lab. Have your students bring their laptops! Why?
