Today I asked you to create a story using Keynote & Clips. I wanted you to reflect on time you went on a journey and things didn’t go as planned.  Tomorrow we’ll begin to look at story about a man named Odysseus.  I wonder if any of your stories will contain all of the drama the Odysseus has to go through in order to get back to Ithaca.
