An Epic Story

Today we began reading an age-appropriate summary of Iliad and Odyssey.  It will take us two or three class periods to finish reading it at which time students will write an essay about conflict.  I introduced the concept of conflict as a problem that arises between two or more people or groups of people.  A conflict can also arise between a person and himself/herself.

Conflict is something that has happened throughout history and have characterized change throughout time.  Conflicts ranging from wars to simple disputes have shaped history and therefore it is a central theme of my class.
