this week in theatre appreciation...

On Monday, we read a chapter in our Drama textbook entitled "The Dawn of Theatre."  Students learned that while drama is believed to have originated in tribal or ritualistic storytelling, The Ancient Greeks are credited with developing drama into an organized theatre system.  Students are answering questions based on the information in the chapter.  On Wednesday, we will begin a class reading of an abridged version of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex.  Ultimately, students will take a quiz over the content of the play.
