Good morning artists and scholars!

Warm-up: Choosing five of your vocabulary words from pages 23-33 in your vocabulary book, write five sentences using adverbial clauses.

Today we will once more climb aboard the SS Odyssey and voyage to the Isle of Scheria and then back in time to Troy where we will retrace our steps from the time we left the fallen city for what we thought would be a quick and easy sail back to Ithaca.

Today we will try to make it to the isle of Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and then record what we see and do in our captain’s log.
