    The Odyssey Theme Pitch

    Learning Target: I can create an elevator pitch with a makerspace product that represents a theme in The
    Odyssey.

    Before: Walkabout

    Question Your Response

    Write down your favorite theme from The Odyssey. No matter how far family is family

    Remember: a theme is more than just a subject.


    Rather, it is what the author is trying to share, convey,
    demonstrate, or teach about a subject.
    Your theme CAN NOT be a single word/phrase.

    Why is that theme your favorite? Explain the Even thought Odyssues was 100 of miles way from
    connection. his family he was mostly thinking about them

    If you were to create a product that represents that A phone that can connect to any family member or
    theme, what are your ideas? close friend without needing wifi or batter charge.

    What supplies do you think you will need to turn Cardboard,paper.


    your project into reality?

    During: Theme Pitch

    Create a pitch for your thematic product.


    Requirements:
    Length: 30 seconds to 1 minute
    Your “pitch” is how/why your chosen theme is connected to The Odyssey, you are selling the
    connection between your object and the chosen theme
    Analysis of the specific theme you chose
    Must include two pieces of evidence from The Odyssey (use MLA citations)
    The evidence must be embedded into your pitch (even when you are reading it aloud)
    Your personal connection to this theme
    Proper grammar and mechanics

    Script: Have you ever been stuck in a moment where your mom called you or you are trying to call your
    mom but your phone died. If you have, listen up. Because we have created a new product to help you with
    that problem. This new phone can connect you to any family member or close friend without worrying about
    wifi or battery charge. This connects to the story because while odysseus was miles away he was still think
    about his family and his family was thinking about him but they had no way to connect with them. Penelope
    and Telemachus are still grieving for him and that his father (homer, end of book 11),Now Penelope
    sank down, holding the weapon on her knees, and drew her husband’s great bow out, and sobbed
    and bit her lip and let the salt tears flow. ( Homer, line 16-19, book 21) . A way how this reflects in my life is
    when I would go to places with no wifi like school its hard to connect with my parent.
