For tomorrow, read Book 9 of The Iliad and perform your chosen literature circle task (remember to pick something you have not done before). For your convenience, I've attached a copy of the Literature circle packet. Skim over Books 7 and 8 to gain better understanding of Book 9 but remember, your literature circle task is only for Book 9.   Oh, what's that? Forgot your copy at school? Don't worry, many copyright free versions are available onliine. http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/iliad.html
