Day 22, 2/23

Back to Greek tragedy today after working on hero letter revision yesterday.  After 10 minutes of independent reading, students took up Oedipus Rex again, reading in class Scene I (p. 211-218).  After reading and answering comprehension questions, they had time in class to review Scene I for textual evidence of the following topics on the Tracking Guide:  Tragic Hero: flaw, Dramatic irony, Motif: Light/Dark and Blindness/Sight. Lastly, they had to find and define the four vocabulary words in today's reading and write the synonym sentence for each one.
Homework:  Finish any classwork from today that you did not complete.  Final drafts of hero letters due Monday.
