eportfolio time again

Please make sure you are visiting your eportfolio and uploading your work regularly and always reflecting...

You probably won't have class time, so please make sure to be doing it on your own time.

Finishing Oedipus

We will be finishing Oedipus the King in class tomorrow in lieu of starting Lit. circles which will happen on Monday instead.

Please complete the study guide questions by Monday for the whole play in your notebooks.  Again, do not write out the questions, just the answers.

http://classics.mit.edu/Sophocles/oedipus.html - here is a link to the complete text if you need to refresh your memory.

Have a great weekend.

Oedipus the King - the first and second day of reading

Please continue to look up the words you started writing down in class - make sure to get the definition as well as part of speech and multiple meanings.

In the study guide sent to you via email:
Please answer questions #1-36 by Thursday in your notebooks based on what we read in class.  You do not have to write out the questions.

*** Also please print a copy of your feature/news article to bring to class tomorrow (Wed. 2/24) we will be conferencing so you can work on second drafts due on Friday via google.docs

Well needed break...

Have a safe, and fun vacation everyone... take the time to recharge and gear up for the rest of the school year... If you are feeling industrious, I suggest you get started on missing work and upcoming work (the stuff that has been emailed out)

Don't hesitate to send questions via email.  I'd be happy to answer them, but give me at least a day to do so.  Not sure if I'm going away yet.

Change of plans for the rest of this week due to the snow

We are not going to start Oedipus until we return from break due to the low turnout of student attendance today and to start tomorrow seems silly.

So please make sure you bring your lit circle books and notebooks to class tomorrow as you will be working on them in class.  They are due by 3pm if you are working on blogs and notebooks for the day.

We will begin Oedipus when you come back from break.
Reminders...
Your lit circle books are due tomorrow
Your first draft of news/feature writing is due on 2/22 when you return
Your IR #6 is due 3/5

"The Theban Plays" by Sophocles - the Intro - read and annotate for class on Thursday, 2/11

The packet was handed out in class today.  Make sure you get a copy.

Thanks.

Read, annotate (make notes and highlight as your read)
