Oedipus / Reaction to Simon's Death / Finish Movie, Start Exam
Grade 12
Went over the story of Oedipus. Discussed imagery, symbolism.
Books will be distributed on Monday. Any senior who will miss class due to AP exam MUST SIGN OUT A BOOK BEFORE LEAVING THE BUILDING!
Essay questions for the shorts story/ myth and folktale unit. Essays will be written in the computer lab on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Choose 1 and start planning:
Folk Tale / Myth story group: In a discussion including at least two of the five stories, analyze similarities and differences in event sequence, characterization, symbolism and theme. Be sure to tie these elements together in such a manner that supports each story’s purpose or message. (Hamlet may be included in this discussion.) Think in terms of the hero journey and ‘atonement with the father’ in particular.
Short Story Group: Compare and contrast the writing style of two of the three authors, Joyce, Salinger and Vonnegut. The discussion may include tone, theme, imagery, author’s purpose, etc., but must include concrete examples of how each author’s writing styles force the reader to construct meaning in a different manner.
Grade 10

Monday: Quiz on chapters 5 through 9 on Monday.
