Work Session - Test Prep #2 Agenda - Monday, April 15th “Everything You Need to Know about Homer’s ‘Odyssey’” STEP 1: Follow along as the class reads the excerpt from the Odyssey aloud. The excerpt has been assigned on commonlit.com. STEP 2: As you read through a second time independently, answer the guided reading questions. They will help you better understand the text. If you do not have an iPad, be sure to look on with someone to do the guided reading questions. You won’t have access to those questions with a paper copy. STEP 3: Work alone to complete the 4 assessment questions, and show me your score. If you do not make a 100, you may read the excerpt from the Lotus Eaters and take the assessment after. Be sure to show me your new score. If you still don’t make your desired score, your final attempt may be used on the assessment for the short story “Echo and Narcissus.” If you need help understanding why you may not be making the score you hope for, please see me so we can review the quiz together! :) STEP 4: Review this week’s Literature Circle Activity and continue reading and/or taking notes for your group’s assignment.
