Advanced English LitGuides provide a complete approach to advanced English instruction. This is one of 27 self-contained novel or play units that include a unit guide, lesson building strategies, support literature, plot/style quizzes, close-reading passages, AP style essays and tests, and examples of student work. Also included is a folder or folders of teaching strategies. These guides are available in .docx format so you can adapt them as you see fit.

I use the American poet Robinson Jeffers' freely adapted translation of Medea, classic tale of revenge and infanticide. There is an excellent film of the 1982 Broadway production.

I provide 6 close reading analyses, several AP essay prompts, a debate assignment, a group episode assignment, a group short essay test, a group "modern mock tragedy" assignment, quizzes, a comparison of translations, thematic support poetry, and lots of student samples.
