Task

To better understand the play //Antigone//, you will gather information about ancient Greek culture, Sophocles (the playwright), and the many themes found in the subtext of the play. As you will see, relationships in ancient times are just as complicated as today. The same basic ideas about human nature known to the ancient peoples of Greece are still significant. You are going to use the Web to focus on ancient Greek life and consider the heroine’s point of view. Your task will be to create a Power Point presentation for your group’s assigned topic. You will visit the designated websites to gather information, and answer the guiding questions for your presentation. Your presentation must include: · At least three slides · At least one image supporting your topic · A works cited slide · Three comprehension questions for your classmates to answer at the conclusion of your presentation. Place these on your final slide. Your comprehension questions should be more specific than the guide questions for your topic. __Ex__: If your guide question is “Who is Sophocles?”, one of your comprehension questions might be, “For what is Sophocles most famous?” Each group’s presentation is to be approximately 10 minutes in length. You may use any visual aids that support your group’s particular topic. You will have time in class to gather information, organize your ideas and format the presentation appropriately. Your Power Point presentation will be assessed on the following criteria: · The quality of the content on each slide in your PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate true understanding · Relevance of presented information to the guide questions for your topic · Visual appeal · Adherence to directions, including proper citations in the Works Cited slide and inclusion of 3 comprehension questions for the class · The use of proper grammar, and word choice After the presentations are complete, each student will be required to submit a reflection explaining the amount of work that he or she contributed to the group’s process.
