English 10

Today we finished a worksheet on run-on sentences and corrected it as a class. We also read the poem "Envy" in the Sightlines textbook and completed a Venn diagram comparing "The Face in the Pool" and the poem. Furthermore, we read a version of Sophocles's play "Oedipus"; we discussed the definition of the 'Tragic Hero', some main themes in the story and the Freudian theory of "The Oedipus Complex". Students completed corresponding questions for the story.

Reminders:

• "Oedipus" questions: due Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015
