We wrapped up our study of Greek drama with a test over Oedipus Rex and Antigone today.

I don't know why, but I forgot all about the writer's notebook today, so there's no entry. Hopefully, we'll get back in a routine on Monday.

We finished the day with a few Add-a-Scene performances and clips from the 1957 production of Oedipus Rex.

Midterms are next week! Hard to believe 9 weeks have already passed! I'll have a review ready for students on Monday. Here's one question that will definitely be on the test:

This 9 weeks, you were to read a non-fiction book for your independent reading. Tell me about the book you read. Be sure to include the title and author, the author's purpose, and the overall impression the book left on you.

Midterms for 1st and 2nd periods will take place on Thursday, 10/22, during normal class time. Midterms for 3rd and 4th periods will take place on Friday, 10/23, in the morning. Students will have early release on Friday.
