Book 16: Recognition & Reality, Meeting Again for the First Time
Description
Teacher Talk is a podcast for teachers that offers deep dives into great literature from the perspective of the high school classroom. Join the camaraderie with Paul & Jay and develop with us a simple but substantive classroom pedagogy of reading, writing, and Socratic discussions.
Book 16 of the Odyssey puts father and son on the stage together for the first time. Each has been formed by his own odyssey and is now eager to pit himself against the bad odds in Ithaca. It is a chapter that builds anticipation and shows off Homer's genius. Jay opens the episode with a haunting poem from Richard Blanco, "My Father, My Hands."
