BEFORE YOU READ  ****REMINDER : You should do some research and read the back story to Antigone to follow my lecture today. Research and read the PLOT summary for Oedipus Rex just to be sure you understand the background before starting the play. 

I ASKED that YOU Conduct a bit  OF RESEARCH ON GREEK BURIAL RITES already .... Now I would like you to.. 

LIST 3-4 Variables that allowed for the Greeks to Perform these traditions. Think about the magnitude of Creon's decree based on your knowledge of the tradition. 

PART 2

Begin Reading Antigone by Sophocles pp. 1129-40.   THIS IS PART 1 - about 12 Pages. 

In addition, it is important that you actively read the play. This means that you should be reading, re-reading, analyzing, connecting and questioning as you read. Please look up any words that you do not understand in the text. Use post -its and index cards to write next to lines. Be sure to highlight and circle lines/words you feel are important. This is called ACTIVE READING and it is imperative in ACADEMIA! Remember YOU ARE ALL SCHOLARSSSSSSS!!!!!

Part 3 : IN YOUR NOTEBOOK: PREPARE FOR OUR FIRST SOCRATIC SEMINAR (FISHBOWL)

TO BE COMPLETED In your NOTE BOOK: Chart & 3-4 paragraphs: The literary term Characterization is defined as: the way an author presents characters. In direct presentation, a character is described by the author, the narrator or the other characters. In indirect presentation, a character's traits are revealed by action and speech. 1. Create a chart in your notebook. Characterize Creon, Antigone and Ismene as you believe them to be thus far. Think about their actions, behavior and speech. Describe each character using at least 7-10 adjectives to describe them.  For Example:  Creon Ismene Antigone Adjectives Adjectives Adjectives PART 4  In TWO Paragraphs: Discuss two major conflicts in the play. You may discuss an internal conflict or an external conflict. You may choose one of each.  You must incorporate concrete examples from the play to support your statements and quotes to support your concrete examples.  Please cite your source at the end of your quote by using MLA format (Sophocles 55-125).  ( see Internal Conflict v. External Conflict below) You do not need to add an Act number since Antigone is not divided into Acts.  You can choose to use page numbers or line numbers. If you use line numbers cite the character and the lines. For example (Creon, 234-289).  3. In one paragraph, relate one of the themes introduced in class to a conflict you discussed in the above paragraphs. Discuss the theme as it relates to the conflict. You may use the principles discussed in class if you choose.

Part 5

**********Note********* Please Write the definitions of internal /external conflict and answer the EQ.

• An Internal conflict is when a character experiences the conflict within and struggles      internally.
• An External Conflict is the opposite. An external conflict is caused by external (outside) circumstances.
• It is possible that an internal conflict can spark an external conflict and vice versa.                   EQ: It is possible for a character to experience both an internal and external conflict simultaneously?
