English 9B – Unit 1

For this portfolio, you are not required to write a formal essay. Instead, you will choose one part of the poem The Odyssey and write a page-by-page summary of it using the chart below.

If you choose to summarize part 1, you will need to cover pages 468 – 486.
If you choose to summarize part 2, you will need to cover pages 490 – 502.
If you choose to summarize part 3, you will need to cover pages 506 – 519.

Use the chart below to track each page of your chosen part. List each page number in the blocks on the left column and write your summary for each respective page in the right column. An example has been done for you in the first row of the chart. As you will see, I am looking for you to be detailed, but include only the most important information on each page.

When you are finished summarizing the events that occur on each page of the part you’ve selected, you will submit ONLY this chart through the drop box in Unit 1, Lesson 7.

Guidelines:
- Your page-by-page summaries MUST be typed. Handwritten versions will not be accepted.
- Use 12 point font.
- Spelling, grammar, and punctuation will count toward your grade, so proofread your work thoroughly.

Good luck!

My page-by-page summary will cover Part ______ of The Odyssey. Page # | Summary of events on specified page | Example: Page 468 | Odysseus is the first to speak. He introduces himself and states that the gods have been challenging and testing him with obstacles throughout his life. He explains that he is well known for his skill level in war and that his home is on the island of Ithaca, the furthest island north in the coastal sea. Ithaca is described as rocky, but suitable for training young boys for battle. He exclaims that he will never see another island quite like Ithaca and then begins to describe how he has spent quite a long time detained in Calypso’s caves, despite his desire to return to Ithaca. | Example:Page 469 | | Page 470 | | Page 471 | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | | Page | |
