To this class bring your own map of the play’s final third (lines 1090-1518), following the model of entries from the previous two-sided worksheet.

In other words, indicate each dialogue-chunk and its corresponding lines; for each chunk concisely record how that group of lines develops the core conflict.

Since this task covers the final part of the play, some of your entries may record how the section develops the conflict by starting to resolve it.

agenda Fri/Mon Nov 11/14: ping-pong dialogue in Sophocles

11 Friday Nov 2016

Posted by bllbrwn423 in agenda, Antigone, direct instruction

learning goal: how does dialogue in this play represent the idea of transitions between ideas?

Mr. Brown’s close reading of two pages (273, 284): ping-pong dialogue and the principle of transitions (photocopy distributed during class)

ping-pong of another sort: game TBA

time to start mapping dialogue chunks in last third of play

question to ask yourself, as you map the third section: does the play ultimately lean to one side or the other of its core conflict?  If so, to which side?  (n.b. this question is different from the one that asks: towards which side of the core conflict do you lean?)
