TuesdayStudents will have time to work in their Oedipus Rex groups or to complete their line explication activity.
Explication of Lines” Either as you’re reading or after you’ve completed reading, choose six very powerful lines from the play, one for each category. Note where they appear in the play, so that you can refer to them later: lines that foreshadow later events, lines that reveal a conflict, lines that reveal a character’s personality, lines that explain why a character behaves that way, lives that refer to past events, lines that seem like sage advice. Prepare a brief explication of each of the lines chosen, relating them to the category, to the specific scene in which they appear, and to the work at large. |
WednesdayStudents will continue studying Oedipus Rex.
