Close readers and forensic detectives alike deal with collecting strong evidence. Ninth graders become involved in an instructional activity about Sophocles' Oedipus the King, in which they find connections between Oedipus' stated words and the truth of his actions. Using an annotation tool, they analyze Oedipus' story about a mysterious murder on the road and answer a series of questions to prepare for a mid-unit assessment.
