Serendip is an independent site partnering with faculty at multiple colleges and universities around the world. Happy exploring!
1) Introductions
2) Re-emphasize guidelines (how do people feel about trying popcorn style vs no hands, reassert step up step back) - maybe try a check-in re:where they're coming from and how they learn best
3) Writing a scene that they feel was missing from "Burial at Thebes" [could alternatively expand on a scene that exists] --> reflection --> discussion with small group [broken into who would and wouldn't be comfortable performing]--> sharing with group as a whole [either performing it as a group or just describing it]
4) Assess the space- how are people feeling about Antigone? Do the scenes add to your appreciation of the play?
TWO ALTERNATE WAYS OF PROCEDING
1) Introductions
2) Pass out Surveys
3) Plot Summary!
Handout family tree, we'll fill in the background/contextual information for the play, then we'll get a volunteer to do a basic summary of the book
4) Initial Scene Reading (either Creon & Haimon's argument or Creon's talk with the Seer)
5) Reflection/Reactions to the Reading
6) Discuss the Reflection
7) Use interesting lines from "Burial at Thebes" - four of them; have people separate into groups depending on which line they would like to discuss most
