1 Freshmen English Project Creating Your Own Odyssey After a semester of writing development, it s time to put it to use. This project will show how well you can take Homer s ideas of a man s bravery, a boy s immaturity, and a family s reunion and move them into the future. THE PROJECT In the following weeks, as we read through Homer s Odyssey, you will write your own odyssey. All of the same elements of the actual story should be included, but the characters, locations, and situations will be totally up to you. Because you choose these elements of the story, a great deal of research will be necessary in developing your story. Creativity will be very helpful in this assignment, and I wish you the best of luck. Use the following requirements and hints to help you in your quest. 1. The Hero. Create a hero or heroine that should be similar to Odysseus, but who can have other qualities and characteristics that you choose. Use the notes from Homer s story to help you map out your hero/heroine. This character may be modernized or you may create a hero/heroine that matches some other time period in history. 2. The time period and location. Choose a conflict or war in history that you would like to explore. Your story should take place in that time period and should reflect that period s cultures, beliefs, and social customs. e.g. You may set your odyssey in France during the French Revolution or in Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War. See Page 7 for a list of wars. 3. The Epic. This story should contain all of the elements of the epic adventures as we have discussed in class. Use your notes and other resources to help guide you. 4. Length. The odyssey you create will include your typed pages, illustrations, map, and worksheets for a total of around twelve (12) pages in a one-half-inch three-ring-binder. Your entire project should be well organized, neatly written and illustrated. 5. Theme. Your odyssey should be centered on a theme of your choosing. Much as The Odyssey centers on a son s development into manhood, a father s return home, and a king s reclaiming of his land, your odyssey should have a central idea upon which the hero/heroine acts throughout the story. As this is the main point of your story, it should be developed first. Note: Other assignments may be included in this total package, with point value adjustments to the final score. Page 1 of 8
2 Overview of Your Odyssey Project Expository Writing Utilizing expository paragraphs (two to four sentences), complete this questionnaire about your character and the heroic journey he/she embarks upon. Then, type up a final copy for your group. 1. What country did you choose and why did you choose it? 2. What conflict/war was your character involved in? Dates? 3. What is the climate of your country? 4. What is the topography of your country? List mountains, rivers, major bodies of water, deserts, etc. 5. Name the geographical locations that you chose for your story: cities, towns, ports, bodies of water, etc. 6. List the types of transportation used during the time of your country s conflict.

Remember to use as many details and descriptive words as possible, paint a picture. This will be the basis upon which your hero/heroine is developed for your odyssey. As a group, edit the rough draft. Then one person types up the final description of your character. (See page 4 for an example of this part of the project.) Provide an illustration of your character.

4 Sample Writing: Hero Analysis Sketch Group Member Names.. Freshman English Teacher s Name Write out the date Tom Buchanan, in riding clothes, was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. He had changed since his New Haven years. Now he was a sturdy, straw haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining, arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of a body built for adventure - he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous leverage - a resolute body. Life for Tom resided in a resolute belief in divine guidance. Although, in his mind, he had determined that anyone could determine their own destiny, morality had been established by divine fiat: irrevocable and penetrating every atom in creation. Therefore, a quiet calm and gentleness flowed deep within his soul providing a balanced dynamo for his publicly dominating personality. His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness he displayed. There was a touch of paternal contempt in it, even toward the people he liked - and there were men at New Haven who had hated his guts. Page 4 of 8
5 GODS, MONSTERS, AND TEMPTATIONS Narrative Writing List the sequence of events that form your hero s journey. Once this has been accomplished, one member of your group will choose one event to narrate. The event s narration should be multiple paragraphs, but limited to one page (similar to Hero Analysis Sketch example on Page 4). Provide an illustration of the major conflict in the event.
