Hello. This is our Odyessey Blog. This is the space where we will “talk” about the book. Instead of paper and pencil question and answers, I will post questions here and you will respond. Then, you will read what others have said and comment on their responses. In essence, we will do a Socratic Seminar electronically and with teacher directed questions. Sound good? Any questions?
