Introducing a Hero (or not)

Tonight your job is to work on prewriting for your essay on whether or not Odysseus is a hero. Your typed introduction--including thesis statement--is due tomorrow. Your introduction should include:

An attention-getter that makes a world-to-text connection (discuss one of the heroes that you wrote about for the hero assignment)

Your definition of hero

An introduction of The Odyssey and Odysseus

A clear, concise thesis statement that includes a subject, an opinion, and a preview of main points

Good luck!
