8:30 / H block

11:45 / F block

learning goal: does the last third of the play continue to tighten the knot of the core conflict, or does it eventually untie/resolve it?

Follow the instructions on the sheet distributed at the start of class.
This is a project to be completed by you—independently. You are the only one responsible for the ideas and details on the sheet. No conversation with classmates.

By the end of the class, return the sheet with your name on it.
If you return the sheet before class ends, you may do other work, but without talking to classmates.

Come to Tuesday’s class having finished reading the play through line 1089.

As part of this assignment, complete the sheet distributed in class-the one on which we recorded several entries during this past Friday’s class.

Remember that for each dialogue you are recording specifically how this exchange develops/builds, intensifies the play’s core conflict–i.e., the know to which Ismene refers in lines 47-49.

greek masksPlease bring to Monday’s class a full, printed, typed copy of your mini-play.

To help you compose, refer to Thursday’s agenda (Jan 7).  It has links to an audio of Antigone.  If you listen to the first ten minutes, you will hear the difference between the dialogue and choral sections.  Use this difference as a guide for your own composition.  The key difference is that the chorus speaks in unison (originally they would always sing their lines), whereas the two actors engage in dialogue and sound more realistic.  You may want to consider writing the choral sections in verse–i.e., poetry, since rhythm helps the chorus speak together.

Lastly, Sophocles’s play Antigone is a tragedy and has a decidedly serious tone.  Don’t feel obligated to match that tone.  You may want to, but also feel free to inject a lighter side into your mini-play.  The aim of this exercise is to introduce the basic structure of Greek theatre during the time of Sophocles.  Have fun.  Good luck.
