This week we were reviewing for our midterm exams. We first worked on grammar worksheets, then we worked on an Antigone review sheet as well. I will allow you to use each of these study guides during the exam. If you were absent on Friday you will find the Antigone worksheet below. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.
Testing starts next week so please be prepared.
Here is a link to the play online if you need it: http://www.myteacherpages.com/webpages/esimpson/files/antigone%20text.pdf
