Greek Theatre

We've had an interesting vacation from our classroom while it was being used for grad photos this past week.  Since we were in the library and computer lab, we took a look at Greek Theatre.

On Wednesday, February 22, we will have a quiz on Greek Theatre.  This is what you will need to know:

1.   Be able to lable a simple diagram of a Greek Theatre.  Know
      theatron, orchestra, skene, parados and proskenion

2.   Be able to match these terms to their definitions: 

       a) Thespis   b) chorus   c) patron/choregos  d) dithyramb  
       e) Dionysus  f) Sophocles   g) Oedipus Rex  h) deus ex   
       machina  i) Aristotle's three unities (know what each unity is--
       you may have to match each of the three separately) 
       j) hipokrit

3.  Are you able to write a three sentence summary of the story of
     Oedipus?  Talk about a reversal of fortune!  A great man 
      made low by his hubris....

Hope you have a great Family Day weekend!
