The Four Types of Commas- Review!

Four types of commas in Oedipus the King Opener: Citizens, I have come because I heard scandalous words spread about me by the king. Interrupter: I beg you, Oedipus, trust him. I think it best, in the interest of the country, to leave this alone. Series: The prizes are all mine: riches, respect and honor, and without fear. Compound: Let break what will, but find the secret of my birth.

Now, time for Kahoot Winner gets +5 on their comma quiz, though they probably won’t need it.

Persuasive Paragraph: MLK Comparison Opinions E EVIDENCE to support the opinions D Mark DEVELOPMENT of ideas (expanding on the evidence)

Persuasive Paragraph Was Martin Luther King justified in breaking the city ordinance? Why or why not? Your answer needs to be like the body paragraph of an essay - you need a topic sentence where you take a stand and give a reason, then you need paraphrased evidence from the article to back up your position and an explanation of how your evidence proves your thesis.

Antigone: Scenes 4 & 5 As we read, do the questions on your study guide. These will be on your test. I am not going over them.

Exit Ticket: Discussion How is Antigone like Martin Luther King Jr. Be sure to have specific examples to support your ideas. Share in your groups, then each group will elect a speaker to share with the whole class.
