Odyssey Thematic Analysis Writing Assignment

On your blogs, please identify a theme that recurs throughout books 11,12,13,16,19,21 and 22 of The Odyssey. Write three separate PIE paragraphs that discuss how this theme is explored in the story. You must use at least one direct quote (citing page and line numbers) as an illustration in each of these paragraphs.

Your writing will be scored and evaluated based on the following criteria:

5 points - Statement of recurring theme (remember that a theme is a full sentence and a lesson/opinion/point of view)

Each paragraph will be worth 10 points
* 2 for effective topic sentence
* 2 for effective Point
* 2 for effective Ilustration (remember it must be a quote with citation)
* 2 for effective Explanation
* 2 for effective conclusion

3 paragraphs x 10 points = 30 points total for all paragraphs.

35 points points for overall assignment.

If this assignment is not completed by the end of the period, you must finish it as homework.
