Update 2: It has come to my attention that not all of the quizzes were handed back for our reading ofOedipus the King. Since these will be an excellent resource to study, I am posting all of the quizzes for Oedipus. Of course, you will need to fill in the answers yourself!
Update 3: I have decided to remove the essay from the test tomorrow. The test is long enough without an essay question to deal with. Please note that you will complete that essay at a later date (Thursday/Friday).
Seniors-
First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the students that took the time and participated in the most recent opportunity for bonus. I will have all of the bonus points entered into Skynet by the end of the day.
As the title suggests, we have quite the busy week! I wanted to write a post so that you know exactly what is expected of you for each of the upcoming days.
On Monday you will be working with your partners (trios!) to complete the "Oedipus Quotes Assignment" that we started last week. If you want, you could also find a few quotes from Antigone, because that will also be on the test. If you lost your assignment sheet, here is a link to another. This assignment must be completed by the end of class. You will be able to access all of the quotes from all of the classes by 8 pm Monday evening. I am hoping that this is an excellent source for all of you to use to prepare for the test.
Tuesday will be an in-class review day for the upcoming test.
Wednesday will be your "All things Sophocles" test. For this test you will be responsible for all of the information that we have discussed concerning Sophocles, the Greek Theater, Oedipus the King and Antigone. I will tell you now: this is not an easy test. It is quotes based, so you will need to identify quotes, who said them and why they are significant to the text. Please also remember to study the Power Point that I gave at the start of the unit (You can find the entire presentation in an earlier blog post).
On Thursday, you will have your full book test. This test is worth 20 points and allows you to demonstrate an understanding of your novel. After the quiz, we will have reading circle discussions and immediately after your group's discussion, your journal is due. I am asking that these journals are typed and are at least 3/4 of a page long (double spaced). If you are having a problem thinking of a good journal topic, feel free to use the topics that I have created for you in this earlier blog post.
Friday will be a continuation of our reading circle discussions.
It is a busy week! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Mr. Cullen
