- Homer's Odyssey (PBS.org)

Students may write a series of blog entries over a period of several days, or may comment online on each other's stories. If you assign students to teams that work on individual characters of the same myth, they may comment on each other's versions of the tale and thus reinforce the idea of point of view." 06-06
