Convenor - Odyssey International-2019

Dear Sir/Madam,

‘The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.’

It is my proud privilege to extend an ebullient invitation to you on behalf of City Montessori School, Rajajipuram for the 8th Odyssey International 2019, to be held from 21st August, 2019 to 24th August, 2019 at the World Unity and Convention Centre (WUCC), City Montessori School, Kanpur Road, Lucknow, India.

“It is literature which unravels the mysterious and decisive doors of imagination and understanding. To see the way others see, to think the way others think and above all to feel…… ” . It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression.

Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of a nation which strengthens students’ cognitive functions in being able to form opinions on their own and express themselves through language.

Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree. Literature always anticipates life. It is under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.

The Odyssey 2019 voyage will be a unique, lively and interactive celebration on “Shakespeare for all times” which will take us on a fascinating journey to relive Shakespeare, and spread the importance of English Language to make everyone understand how it is developing sustainable relationships irrespective of cultural and language barriers. Words of Peace can connect hearts and minds in such a manner that the bond which develops becomes a source of warmth and camaraderie for a long time. We have put our best foot forward to capture the crux of the Shakespearean era universally known as the Elizabethan era. It is a UTOPIA. The purpose of Odyssey is to catch the essence of the Elizabethan period. Odyssey is the tribute to this field of Elizabethan era.

The Elizabethan era (1558 to 1603) is the epoch in the Tudor period of the history of English during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Elizabethan literature is probably the most splendid age in the history of English literature and is remembered as the time of a great wave in which the arts flourished.

This “Golden age” represented the apogee of Shakespeare and saw the flowering of poetry, music, drama and literature. William Shakespeare stands out in this period and is universally regarded as the greatest poet of all times. He fulfilled the promise of this era and wrote plays in a variety of genres including histories, comedies and tragedies which set a standard never again equalled.

The festival celebrates 400 years of the world’s pre-eminent dramatist and writer of Elizabethan entertainment considered the greatest literary figure of all times–William Shakespeare popularly known as “Bard of Avon”.

The four day long eclectic event will encompass an avant garde of Elizabethan entertainment which have been included to this illustrious list of innovative events. A plethora of contests await you in the vistas of English literature. These events have been devised by a team of experts to identify the latent capacities, innate talents and creative genius in the literary arenas, both in Senior and Junior category.

The competitions are conditioned to evolve knowledge acumen of the participants, to develop the prowess in a spirit of competitiveness of the participants as well as to propel their personalities, giving them a cutting edge in knowledge, building excellent orators and develop global camaraderie spreading world peace and harmony. We look forward to your active participation.

Your contribution will help create

• Theatre that moves the heart and touches the soul.
• Educational opportunities that bring the compelling experience of theatre to learners of all ages.
• Support the festival's commitment to bring Shakespeare to the people and make artistic excellence affordable.

Each team is requested to be accompanied by a senior teacher in English department as the Team Leader. We accord a special invitation to the principals/Heads of the institutions to be our guests of Honour for this event.

A modest amount of Rs. 1,000/-(one thousand INR only) per student participant of National Teams and $20(twenty dollars only) per participant of International Teams will be charged as Registration Fee.

Dear Friends,

English Literature of myriad genres has given pleasure to countless readers, and English language has been a benign global force in the development of all fields of human study, research and knowledge transfer.

CMS, Rajajipuram is organizing Odyssey 2019 to provide English language enthusiasts from India and abroad, the opportunity to celebrate this beautiful and expressive language by engaging in a range of fun activities including drama, elocution, mime, creative writing, debate, depiction and quizzing on topics related to English literature and language.

While not overtly intended to be educative, participation in Odyssey will inevitably help to increase students' appreciation of the beauty of English, its role in sharpening the sensibilities and expanding the horizons of the human mind and its power to cause progress by permitting communication between diverse people. Students will also gain an understanding of the evolution and changing usage of English language while also sharpening their wit, humour, vocabulary and powers of expression.

I welcome all participants and am confident Odyssey will provide a rewarding experience to cherish later “oft when on your couch you lie, in vacant or in pensive mood”(to twist Wordsworth's famous line with slight poetic license)!

Congratulations to the Principal, staff and students of CMS, Rajajipuram for conceiving such an interesting event !

Mr Roshan Gandhi Forouhi
Director of Strategy

Language is the light of the mind; the language we use influences the way we think. English continues in the world as the major language in communicating our thoughts and ideas on a global scale. It promotes better understanding of the people from various nations and cultures by way of effective communication in order for us to be globally competitive and ready for all the challenges ahead.

I am delighted to welcome you all to the 8th Odyssey International 2019. Odyssey is an annual International Literary English Fest that strives to promote quality English skills such as speaking, reading, writing and listening. Indeed the English Festival will strengthen the competency of the participants from all across the globe through a series of competitions, providing opportunities for them to improve their vocabulary, grammar, articulation, pronunciation and intonation, strengthening their oral and writing expertise.

The festival conveys to us the value of literature for the enrichment of our lives. It celebrates the power of imagination and creativity. John Grogan, an American journalist and non-fiction writer has said, "In the English language, it all comes down to this: Twenty-six letters when combined correctly can create magic. Twenty-six letters form the foundation of a free, informed society."

I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Mrs Nisha Pandey, Sr Principal of CMS Rajajipuram and her dedicated staff for organizing this event.

Mrs. Susmita Basu
Superior Principal & Head, Quality Assurance and Innovation Department, CMS

Literature is a journey, inscribed in pages powered by the imagination of readers. It is also the very foundation of life, enabling people to see through the lenses of others, therefore it becomes a looking glass into the world as others view it. Literature helps us to address human nature and conditions that affect all people, which enables us to connect with our own humanity. In this respect the name of William Shakespeare stands out.

“He was not of an age but for all time.” More than four hundred years on, he remains an icon for all lovers of literature and his memorable writings have transcended the juggernaut of time and space. A true representative of the Renaissance, his epochal works mirror every aspect of mankind in all its vibrant hues.

This year's 'Odyssey' resonates with the true spirit of the Bard of Avon. The plethora of events and competitions are aimed at enhancing children's linguistic and literary ability as well as evoking innovative and critical thinking.

I take this wonderful opportunity to congratulate the dynamic Principal and the dedicated Staff of CMS, Rajajipuram for their efforts to organize Odyssey International – English Literature Festival.

I hope your efforts will serve as a stepping stone, towards the many miles to be covered in pursuit of excellence.

Debate is a means of making and evaluating arguments that allows debaters to better understand their own and others' positions. The debaters are, thus, brought closer together, even when they represent opposing sides of an issue or come from vastly different cultures or social classes.

Dance and literature weave the dreams in everyday human life—movement and language—into art. They share the common goal of communication, embracing processes of questioning, theme-formation, exploration, investigation, articulation, feedback and revision. Dance can be a great assistance in clarifying the language of analysis and inculcating understanding and appreciation for the strong undercurrents that fuel the power of literature. Explanations of tone, the basic concept of rhythm in poetry and prose and variations in rhythm, patterns of syntax, diction, and rhetorical elements such as parallelism, emphasis, subordination, co-ordination, compression and expansion are deepened when demonstrated through dance movement.

Rules:

1. The Troupe will be represented by all six team members (Juniors) of the participating school.

• To enable the students to apply knowledge to new situations

A classic is a book accepted as being exemplary or noteworthy. It stands the test of time, has a universal appeal and connects with the audience. After a reader finishes reading a classic, it is often the ending that resonates most strongly. The plot is the result of choices made by characters in a story. Here is where the mnemonic device needs further development of its own. The end comprises – crisis, climax and consequences. In the best of stories the crisis involves a choice between two options of equal value. So crisis by definition is the most dramatic point in the entire story. Climax comes as the resolution to the story's conflict. The French call the consequences of the story - ‘denoument’ or unravelling. Everything in the plot leads upto it. However it can be reinterpreted or totally revamped by a reader to suit his/her interests and generation.

Rules:

1. The school should be represented by one participant from the Junior Section.
2. A summary of a Shakespearean play will be given.
3. The turning point will be marked.
4. The participant will have to creatively imagine an alternative ending.
5. The participant will be allotted 30 minutes to analyze the idea and one hour as writing time.

Judgement Criteria

Objectives of the Event

• To become aware of the social purpose and significance of cultural artefacts such as masks
• To explore the connection between culture and society
• To express the real thoughts and feelings in absence of identity through soliloquy

The masquerade was designed with the objective of hiding one's identity behind a facial mask that brings with it the elements of mystery and intrigue. It allows individuals to be anonymous yet flamboyant. The mask sets people free to do and say whatever they like without fear of backlash or retribution. This freedom of speech manifests itself in a soliloquy of which William Shakespeare is the greatest exponent. Shakespeare has used soliloquies to make his characters wrestle with their private thoughts, often failing to perceive the flaws in their own thinking.

1. Each team will be represented by one participant from the Junior Section.
2. The mask is to be prepared on the spot within the stipulated time of 60 minutes.
