Three-Sentence Overview of this Lesson:
After listening to and sketching several scenes from the stories of Theseus and Orpheus, students will imagine a scene of themselves standing on the road of life, about to embark on a journey into the world. Inspired by the quest items taken by Theseus and Orpheus on their journeys, students will brainstorm three interesting quest items they might take with them. Using Jim Croce's song "I Got a Name" as further inspiration, students will turn their ideas into a poem. Teachers: Click here to see the entire lesson plan.
