Students in Mr. Dearing's 9th grade English classes incorporated visual arts into their creative writing lesson to enhance their learning of Homer's The Odyssey.  After reading the  epic poem students were  given a creative writing assignment in which they were required to choose a character from the story (other than Odysseus) and compose a descriptive narrative from that charcter's perspective.  The arts integration component required students to determine the climactic scene from their original essay and create a visual narrative as a diorama using found and made objects.
