  1. So I know our presentation was really long and maybe even a little exhausting. I am sorry that we didn't really coordinate how long the presentation was going to take. However, I hope that you guys were able to follow along and that you got something constructive from it. I think I jumped back and forth a lot during my part of the presentations so if you guys have any questions or anything that you need to be clarified, please feel free to ask. Also, I pointed out some literary devices as well as thematic content in my presentation, so if you wanna take a look at it just let me know and i'll forward it to you.

  3. Some of you delivered your presentations mindful of the rubric we created together. Some of you thoughtfully organized and carefully presented information, others of you approached your assignment in a cavalier, disjoint, I just want to get it over manner. I did not expect perfection; however, there were some truly exemplary presentations.
    I hope you learned from them, and I also hope you learned from the experience of having given your own presentation.

  4. Yenifer, I think you did an excellent job in your presentation. You showed that you honestly understood what you read and what was expected for your presentation. The fact that your group took a long time only means that you and your group members had a better understanding of the "books" that you were all assigned.

  5. I agree! Yenifer your group did a great job covering the cantos and making sure us as the audience understood!

    Questions-
    How does Odysseus act on or ignore Telemachus' advise to him?
    - Odysseus act on or ignore Telemachus advise to him because I feel Odysseus is a stubborn person, so he does not agree what Telemachus has to say.
    What do you think of his advice?
    - I think Telemachus advice makes more sense.
