Themes Identification Group Work For 10/5

Today we will be working together to continue our identification and articulation of the themes in Antigone.

By now, you should have:
1. Assigned responsibilities for the different members of your group. What themes, passages, or characteristics did each person address?
2. Identified four or five passages that helped you identify and understand themes raised in the play
3. Discussed the context, significance, and word choice in these passages
4. Explained how the passages help the reader understand a theme discussed in the play.


TODAY:
1. Meet with your groups and make sure each person has their own quotes and ideas -- try to avoid overlap
2. Come to an agreement on the three or four themes your group will discuss, and decide on how you will be articulating those themes. Each person gets one.
3. Collaborate to decide on the best supporting evidence for these ideas.

TOMORROW:
You need to come to class with a clearly articulated theme to discuss and support with evidence from the play.  Consider two different ways to raise this theme:
*As a statement: "Haemon's character demonstrates the belief that chocolate ice cream is the foundation of a democratic society and must be upheld despite the needs of lactose-intolerant citizens
