WEEK THIRTEEN, November 1 and November 4
For Monday, November 1: We perform Robert Frost's ghost poem The Witch of Coös Class performs eleven scenes--the background myths to Antigone, the play we're going to be enjoying. And we decide which conjunctions are the right conjunctions for connecting pairs of haunted-house sentences.
Homework for Thursday: Antigone: Listen to the Beginning of the Play. And read along.
For Thursday, November 4: Class performs again the eleven scenes--the background
myths to Antigone.
Further adventures with conjunctions. We begin Antigone. Have
you ever done anything like this? Do you know anyone who has ever done
anything like this?
Homework for Monday: Antigone: Listen to Scenes 2 and 3. And read along. I expect you to be able to tell me what happens in each Scene and what each Ode is about. I expect you to be able to tell me who the characters are in each Scene.
