Reading Milton's Literary Epic Paradise Lost
code: 1066. I would use this lesson to teach students the elements of a literary epic. I would probably teach this to an 11th or 12th grade class because it is more advanced and more difficult to understand right away. I would use sections from the Odyssey to trigger students' prior knowledge (what they learned about the Odyssey in 9th grade). The materials included with this lesson are also very interesting, and I might try to figure out a way to use the smart board with them so that the students could interact with the material.

It is a good idea to try and start looking for activities for concepts that tend to be difficult for students to understand or for teachers to explain. Looking for prior knowledge is good too. I like your willingness to adapt things to use the technology you may have in the classroom.
