English Project Help?

Question

For my english class we have to do a creative presentation about an epic poem. My epic is the Odyssey and I can present it in anyway possible. Some other presentations I have done that weren't for this assignment were acting out a scene with action figures, writing a poem and presenting it with bongos and props, and making a comic book. Any ideas for this one?

Answer 3

Well, one thing that I would suggest is, if you aren't doing the entire 400+page oddesy and only a segment of it, make copies of the segment that you are doing for everyone to look at, or as you are doing what ever your recital is, have someone else go through a power point on the TV that has all of the words there.

Answer 4

Make a model of the ship or the islands he's landed he's homeland or make figures of the characters =D

Answer 5

Make a timeline of where *everyone* was, for example, while Odysseus was with Alkinoos, where was Telemachus? there are plenty of online resources, too.

Answer 6

how about a power point, i have to read the odessy soon in my english class too :(

hope this helps
