9 CP-A: Oedipus the King

UPDATE FOR 9 CP-A: Due to the recent snow days, your vocabulary Unit 4 Test will be on Friday, February 21!

We will begin doing a dramatic reading of Oedipus the King in class during the week of February 3. If you are absent from class, you will be responsible to do the reading on your own. The websites below may be very helpful to you as we discuss Greek Theater and Oedipus. I have also included a link for an audiobook of Oedipus. You will have in-class writings, quizzes, and a final test on Oedipus and the Greek Theater background information. Those test dates will be announced in class. Bring in a notebook to class each day during this unit. Taking notes as we are reading will be very helpful.

Unit 4 Vocabulary Test will be on Friday, February 14. Prepare by working on the Unit 4 exercises over the next two weeks. *Advance notice: Unit 5 Vocabulary test will be on Friday, February 28.
