We are having an interesting vacation from our classroom while it is being used for school photos. Since we're here in the library, let's check out "Greek Theatre". Locate the definitions for the terms listed below (for the quiz)!
Check out this video to see one of the wonders of theatrical history:
Theatre of Epidaurus.
One of the most famous Greek tragedies is Oedipus Rex. Read the summary at this link for the quiz on Friday.
On Friday, October 5, we will have a quiz on Greek Theatre. This is what you will need to do.
1. Be able to label 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
