Introduction to Ancient Greece

Students read the introduction to the Ancient Greece Unit in the textbook.  Mr. Stone focused on Big Ideas 1 and 3.  The class also read the introductory material on ancient Greek drama.


Tomorrow the class will begin viewing Sophocles' Oedipus Rex.


Homework:  Write one page single-spaced handwritten or a half of a page double-spaced typed (That's about 12 lines of 12-point font.) on ONE of the following questions:


What does it mean to be a hero?


OR


What makes something tragic?


Your answer should be your own personal reflections.  You should first think back on your own personal experiences or the experiences of people you know personally.  If you need more material, then think about vicarious experiences you have had through the reading of books or the viewing of movies or television.
