We will begin with about ten minutes of small group collaboration. Make a table group of four (I will explain how) and share some of the theme ideas you generated when you were working with your elements of literature.
Work together as a group to make sure these themes are expressed clearly. Then, select one theme to present to the class in discussion.
Generally, when you discuss thematic development in a piece of literature, you need to be clear about a broad, universally relevant problem, idea, or value AND the message developed by the play about this concept.
HOWEVER, today, you need to focus on the relevant question or problem raised by the play. You don't need to provide the answer; we will be doing that together later.
Example format:
Sophocles uses his play to discuss the conflict between....
the question of whether...
the competing priorities of...
this aspect of human nature...
