"This I Believe" is our topic for our Writer's Notebook on Tuesdays. Today, I shared this image and asked students to form an opinion based on the quote and picture.

After reviewing Scene 2, we looked at stichomythic dialogue in Oedipus Rex and created our own dialogue in that style. More info on the structure and techniques used in Greek tragedy is available at the Structure of Tragedy site. We also read Ode 2 and Scene 3 and completed discussion questions.

We're on track to finish Oedipus Rex by Thursday.
