Focus: Why is Sophocles' Oedipus Rex considered the root of all literary tragedies?
1. Warming up with happy Monday journaling and a few thoughts from your sheets of 26 questions
2. Perusing each other's reading tickets, musical chairs style
3. Engaging in a lively and revealing Socratic seminar on Oedipus Rex
4. Wrapping up the discussion (final 10 minutes)
HW:
1. Bring Oedipus Rex back to class tomorrow so that you can work on composing your first and second posts in class. If you own a laptop, please bring it to class tomorrow and Wednesday. I promise this will all make sense tomorrow.
2. For WEDNESDAY, please bring in any college essay prompts that you will be tackling this year (or perhaps next year if you're a junior). Click HERE for the 2014-15 Common Application prompts.
