We looked at two articles about concussions and football to respond to in our writer's notebooks: "NFL Brain Study" and "Should You Let Your Kids Play Football?"
We completed our discussion of Oedipus Rex, going over the last set of questions and comparing the play to Aristotle's definition of tragedy.
Students are writing their first persuasive essay this week, and it is due on Wednesday. The essay should be no more than 1 page. Students may type the essay, but it must be 12pt font, double-spaced, and there is still a 1 page limit. Students do not have to reference Oedipus Rex in the essay.
They will have a test on Friday over poetry and short stories--two genres we tackled in this first 6 weeks. The test will have two poems and one short story and 25(ish) multiple choice questions.
