TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lori G. says, “This was great. My students were really having a tough time with the language and story. This helped them check their understanding and helped me see areas that we needed to review. They did this in small groups and some solid conversations were heard about the play.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer W. says, This was helpful for ending up our work on each act, and engaged ALL the students. It is especially helpful for those who have difficulty with the play. Kids with better skills will complete these quickly, but their real value is for the ones who are struggling. A nice wrap-up or review before a test on each act.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen P. says, “These were a great resource I used as a check-in with my students (they range from beginner/ESL to bilinguals) and their comprehension of the play, especially since for some, this was their first time learning Shakespeare. It was easy to use and the students enjoyed this moment (I assume it acted as a sort of pause from all the analysis and language coming their way).

These character analysis graphic organizers for Homer’s “The Odyssey” are great for helping your students gain a better understanding of the epic. Rigorous and engaging, these organizers require students to find and cite evidence from the text as they read in order to fully analyze each character.

There are two different CCSS aligned character analysis/character sketch graphic organizers in this download. There is an organizer for almost every character in Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey.

The first organizer asks students to identify if the character is round or flat, static or dynamic, an antagonist or a protagonist, and the character’s main conflict. After students identify these qualities, they also need to provide textual evidence and an explanation. This organizer also includes a visual representation of the main characters.

The second organizer asks students to trace a characters emotions and motivation from the beginning to the end of the novel. There is also a small space designated for students to illustrate the character’s emotions, wants, needs, or motivation.
