i have just finished teaching through the structure of a greek tragedy using oedipus rex with the middle schoolers. and i have to say that there is NOTHING quite so entertaining as reading through the classic play oedipus rex with middle schoolers and seeing the light of understanding come on into their little eyes when they understand the climatic moment of the play.
so i have collected some little funny oedipus moments to share with you here. because i can't really share them with middle schoolers...
and here is an actual activity we will be doing in class... comparing oedipus rex to frozen and finding all the elements of classic greek tragedy that they both display... (and i may have made up the last element of tragic form, but it was too good to leave off the list...)
