I had to teach the Oedipus Trilogy and pretty much only that for my whole student teaching experience, which sucked. I had never read them before and had no interest in the material. I also had limited support because my collaborating teacher was out with pneumonia a lot of the time. So, I got these to help me out because I could use all the help I could get!
