The real-world subjects this novel study leans into — the depth behind every Knowledge Bank and reading passage.
PRIMARY LENS
🌊 Oceanography & Seamanship
Currents and gyres, navigating without instruments, the Sargasso Sea, how sound behaves underwater, and what straits and whirlpools do to a hull — the real ocean under the myth.
SUPPORTING
🏛️ Homer’s Odyssey & Myth as Memory
How the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, the Cyclops and the Fleece encode real sailing hazards, and why a story can outlast the chart that would have explained it.
SUPPORTING
👥 Ableism, Belonging & Self-Advocacy
Tyson, Clarisse and the camp itself: how a group decides who counts as one of its own, and what it costs Percy to be ashamed of a brother.
