In pre-reading stage, I asked students to highlight the labels that describe Oedipus in the extract.
For while-reading stage, in the first activity, students were asked to complete the tables, using the labels that they have highlighted in pre-reading. In the tables, they had to state whether the labels are positively, neutrally or negatively connotated, by using (+), (#) and (-) signs respectively. Besides that, they had to find adjectives that describe the labels. For Table A, they also needed to seek for the antonyms of the adjectives as well.
In the second while-reading activity, students had to describe the development of Oedipus’ characteristics, by using the information from Table A and Table B. Since it was a harder task, I gave further explanation to assist students to complete the task.
Lastly, in post-reading stage, I asked students to think whether reversal of fortune in Oedipus’ life causes reversal of his characteristics. Students had to write an essay to state their opinions without exceeding 120 words.
In conclusion, the objective of my lesson is to analyze the development of Oedipus’ characteristics from earlier scene to later scene through labels.
