TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!
You are invited to a toga party next class. We will provide some finger food, but you will be the life of the party. Sharpen you acting skills and find a fitting costume (a simple toga/ bed sheet will do for the unimaginative). You must transform into a character from The Odyssey. Feel free to bring Greek snacks (dolmas, pita chips, tzatziki, falafel, etc) and beverages to class.
Specific Instructions
1. Know your info
You are to become the character described below. Please know the information about yourself- get into character enough- so that you can mingle with the other characters and share the valuable information. Note: your classmates are depending on you, and only you, for information about this character. You will not be able to read/refer to the information once the toga party begins.
Telemachus
You are Odysseus’s son and a prince. As an infant, you were placed in front of your father’s plow as a test of your father’s pretended madness (he was afking to get out of going to war). He did not plow over you and that was how they knew he was not mad. You haven’t seen your father since you were an infant and want him to come home. You have spent a great deal of time searching for him to no avail. You live with your mother who has been inundated with suitors who are hanging around the house to marry her since they believe she is a widow. These suitors are spending all of your inheritance on parties and food.
2. Name tag
Please make a name tag that you will wear during the party and turn in afterward. The tag must include your character’s name written clearly and must have a symbol or drawing that represents the character. Bonus points will be awarded if the tag is exceptionally well done.
3. Brief Prediction
As your character, answer the following question on the back of your name tag in a sentence or two-MAX!
Q: You discover your father is alive, what will you do to get rid of the suitors that are hanging around your mother’s house?
