Students will be able to analyze and interpret Sophocles' Antigone, specifically focusing on themes of loyalty, justice, and moral responsibility.
Begin by asking students if they've read or are familiar with Antigone. Give a brief overview of the play and its themes. Explain that the class will be delving deeper into these themes and exploring their relevance in today's world.
Recap the main plot points of Antigone and introduce the major characters.
Using the whiteboard, lead a discussion on the themes of loyalty, justice, and moral responsibility in Antigone. Ask students to provide examples from the text to support their analysis.
Hand out the discussion questions and give students time to read and reflect on them individually. Then, facilitate a group discussion on the questions.
Divide students into small groups and assign each group a theme to focus on. They should discuss and analyze quotes from the play that relate to their theme and come up with a short presentation to share with the class.
Each group presents their findings to the class.
Wrap up the lesson by asking students to reflect on what they learned about the themes in Antigone and how they can apply these lessons to their own lives. Encourage them to continue to read and think critically about literature.
