We are in the library computer lab Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
See assignment below. This is due at the close of class on Friday.English I Dramatic script for The Odyssey
Please bring your flash drive in, if you wish to work on this at home.
Choose from one of the following scenes and create a dialogue. This should follow a narrative structure; that is a beginning, conflict and denouement (closure). The information should be vivid. Let your characters use lots of adjectives and active verbs. Include descriptive setting details. You may use your books for inspiration.

1. A conversation between Odysseus and Calypso, where he is trying to convince her to let him go, while she works equally hard to get him to stay.

2. A conversation between Penelope and Odysseus, where she explains her loneliness and frustrations over the years, while he explains some of his trials to get home.

3. A conversation between Odysseus and Telemachus, the father relating some of what he experienced and his son, telling of his life without his father and what he wanted now for the future.

The following is a model for your dialogues. Note that the lines are single spaced within for each character’s words, but double spaced between characters. Use size 12 font; times New Roman
