As Jonathan entered the classroom, he was surprised to see that most of the students were already there. He had been up late reading one of his thick, leather bound history books and had overslept. Entering the classroom he greeted his class and sat on the desk. He shuffled through his papers and cleared and then stood back up as the last student entered the classroom. "Okay, well, I won't keep you for very long today. I just want to cover another mythical creature of Greek mythology and that is the Cyclops. Does anyone know what major characteristic the Cyclops have?" He waited, then pointed to a student with their hand up.

"A Cyclops only has one eye, right?" The student said.

"Yes, you are absolutely right. The Cyclops is easiest identified by it's one large eye in the centre of its forehead. They are also ancient ancestors of our modern day giants, though it was said that they sometimes grew as tall as some of our greatest trees. Other than their obvious physical traits, the Cyclops are said to resemble humans in every other way.

"One of the most popularly known Cyclops is Polyphemus. If any of you read Homers Odyssey last week, then you may have stumbled upon this name."
Jonathan paused. "Well, I know this is a really short lesson, but I want you to do some independent study. I would like you to write a brief essay on Polyphemus. It can be as short or as long as you want, but I would like to see that you've read and understand Polyphemus. If you all have that marked down, then you may leave." He smiled and waved as the students left.
Homework Assignment:

RP the lesson (10)
Write an essay on Polyphemus. There's no limit or minimum, but you will be graded on the content of the essay. (Extra credit)
