I am starting to teach The Illiad but I am stuck on what to do or rather how to make the lessons interesting. Any high school teacher (language arts/english) that has done The Iliad, please share your lesson plans with me! I would greatly appreciate it.

Well I'm not highschool teacher, I'm a sophmore in highschool, but I just got finished studying for my Illiad test. We were assigned to read the most important books (chapters) in the Illiad, and we had to annotate and take notes in the book on each chapter. For each book/chapter we didn't read my teacher handed out a summary of what happened. Also, watching the movie Troy really helped me to understand the book and it's also a really great movie, watching it in class might not be so great though....

I know that I'm not a teacher, but I really like the Illiad and the way my teacher made us annotate really helped me to remember and understand the book more.

I hope I helped =]
