The Odyssey
Lesson Outline
Paige had the following assignments: write 7-10 sentences in her English journal (responding to a prompt about The Odyssey) and edit an essay about Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, "I Have a Dream."
Paige summarized Book X, and we discussed the motif of hubris. I helped Paige edit her topic sentence; she wrote the remaining sentences independently. Her history essay required only minor edits to fulfill the 500-word limit. Meanwhile, I reviewed The Benjamin School student portal to understand upcoming assignments.
In preparation for next Tuesday's session, we will read Book XI of The Odyssey and annotate the text. We will compare annotations and discuss them in session.

Lesson Comments
Paige is lovely. I hope she will allow me to help her more as she gets used to me. She tends to want to work independently and rush through assignments. I noticed several skills I could help her with (for example, more efficient and accurate annotation and more concise writing). I am confident that this will come in time.
