From our "Homer's Odyssey in a Global Context" program (Nov. 14, 2020), two teachers developed classroom materials on the topic. Jen Swalec (Westport, CT) and Paul Perrot (Arlington, VA) created wonderful teaching resources for the classroom, and we hope you will take advantage of them.
CLA is delighted to announce that Dr. Cristina Griffin is joining us this fall as the Managing Director of the Teaching Hard Literature project.
