🌀Coming Soon: My updated + Fresh Take on The Odyssey – Free Unit for 9th & 10th graders

Want to be the first to know when it's live?

​

Let’s be real: many students groan when they hear The Odyssey.
​

But what if we gave them the tools and the context to actually enjoy it?

​

This free unit reimagines The Odyssey for today’s classroom — starting with Disney’s Moana as a bridge to Homer’s epic. Through modern connections and carefully scaffolded support, students will build the skills (and confidence!) they need to tackle this classic.

What’s Included:

✅ A dynamic Moana + Odyssey hook lesson
✅ Reading guides for 6 key books of The Odyssey (Fitzgerald translation)
✅ Questions designed to guide students to the right passages — no aimless skimming
✅ Practice activities to review Odysseus’s trials and key events
✅ Background/context materials for myth, epic structure, and Homer’s world
✅ All aligned for close reading, discussion, and confidence-building!

​

Perfect for grades 9–10, this unit makes The Odyssey less overwhelming and more meaningful — without dumbing it down.
