DAY 01 - CYCLE 06 - SEMESTER 01: 10-08-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:

I gave you discussion questions for today, which are available by clicking on the class notes for today.

IN CLASS TODAY:
We covered words 11-15 in Unit II of the vocabulary book: maelstrom, myopic, overt, pejorative, and propriety.

We discussed 85-107 in Antigone.

Here is the Odeipus family tree:



I was impressed by what many of you had to say in class.  Clearly, you are reading in a more engaged fashion.  Delightful!  Please, keep it up.  Those of you who really stepped it up today, it showed, I noticed, and we're all the better for it.  Those who didn't, keep trying.  I've read enough of your writing to know you all can reach a high standard.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
Please complete the play (up through page 128).  The discussion format simply works better, so we'll stick with that.  You'll have a writing assignment over the weekend, drawing comparisons between Whale Rider and Antigone.
