Name: Martin Ibasco
Text: The Odyssey Books 5-8
Date: August 11
Books: 5-8

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.
