"My reading group began The Odyssey following Pam’s weaving residency. Not only were the students able to make text to self connections with the principal character of Penelope, and her weaving strategy to avoid re-marriage, but the majority chose weaving as a final project. Students were asked to complete a personal weaving and artists statement describing the ways their color and pattern choices reflected themes from the Odyssey. This assignment offered opportunities for students to practice their weaving, explore symbolism and metaphor, and refine their persuasive writing skills." - Sarah, 5th grade teacher, Baltimore City
