Today we finished watching "O Brother Where Art Thou" and then began our unit on the Aeneid. We discussed the details behind Virgil's
Aeneid - that it was modeled after Homer's
Iliad and
Odyssey
- and that there was a clear political agenda to the story. We also
fully fleshed out the details of the entire story. Then we watched a
fabulous stick figure movie about the events in the
Aeneid.
Homework:
1. Read the next play about Aeneas and Dido and be ready to answer questions about it at the beginning of class next week.
2. Keep working on your study guide - the unit test will be on February 27th
3. The OMG project is due on March 6 - and on that day we will move on to Norse mythology.
