Learning Goal(s): Practice close reading for information, gathering evidence, and making inferences. Consider thematic concepts from The Oedipus Trilogy. Apply knowledge of parts of speech.
Targeted Standards: ELAGSE9-10RI1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. ELAGSE9-10L1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. 
Agenda:
  1. Meet your new Greek families!
  2. Get out your tech packet so your teacher can check it while you label the Magic Lens practice sentence for level 1.
  3. Review the CEI assignment requirements for “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” (handout here).
  4. Introduction to classical Greek Theatre:
    1. Complete the KIQ chart, then discuss your charts in small groups.

    3. Teacher draws Oedipus family tree on board; students copy down in IANs
    4. Ponder and Respond: Describe a time you had to stand up for someone or something when it wasn’t necessarily the easiest choice. Explain the situation and how you handled it.
  5. SB pg. 448: Read sections “Greek Theater” and “Sophocles”; highlight key information (highlight in one color information that you have already learned, and new information in a different color). Participate in a class discussion on important background knowledge before beginning the reading of Antigone.
  6. SB. 449: As a class, read sections entitled “Tragedy and the Tragic Hero” and “Antigone and Her Family Background.”
