Date: August 31, 2010
Books: 13-15

Adventurous Artist: The Odyssey features some of literature's most visually memorable
scenes; bring these epic settings to life by a) listing down words from the text that help create
vivid images, and (b) drawing some kind of picture or using multimedia forms which captures the
essence of the reading. It can be a sketch, cartoon, painting (by you or a renowned painter), a
flow chart or a diagram. The illustration must feature (a) a scene that's discussed specifically in
your book, or (b) something that the reading reminded you of, or (c) a picture that conveys any
idea or feeling you got from the reading. You may label the picture with words if you wish.
During the circle, feature the work you made or selected to the group first without comment or
explanation. Ask the members of your group to guess what your picture means, to connect the
drawing to their own ideas about the reading. After everyone has had a say, tell them what it
means, where it came from, or what it represents to you.

Write down the words or passages in the text that helped create vivid mental images.
Identify the sense that the image appealed to.
