Lesson Plan

Grade 9 ELA Module 2, Unit 2, Lesson 20

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Oedipus' lack of literal and figurative vision does not mean he cannot see his guilt in the terrible fates of Laius, Jocasta, and all the lives touched by prophecy. Conclude a literary analysis unit on Sophocles' Oedipus the King with a writing assessment focused on the connection between Oedipus's innocence and his guilt.
