Bell Ringer
Make sure your Antigone Lit Circle 1 notes handout is complete for lit circles today! With your group, go over the rubric for your group presentation today!

Lit Circles
With your group, use your notes to have a 7 minute Socratic discussion (without the outside circle). (Here's an online timer if you need it.) Use the flip camera to record your group. When you finish, watch the video. Discuss with your group the positive and negative aspects of your performance. Did you refer to the text? Did you build off each others' ideas? Were there long awkward silent periods? Was everyone well prepared? Complete the grading rubric. Turn this in, along with your notes handout. Use the discussion cards to track your participation. Each member should turn in 2 Take-it-to-the-text cards, 2 follow-up cards, and 2 pose-a-question cards during the discussion .

Make sure you get a handout for preparation for the next lit circle! We will do inside/outside Socratic circles next time.

Presentations
It's time to do group presentations! We all need this background knowledge for a clearer understanding of Sophocles's play. Make sure to pay close attention to presenters and ask questions if you need to clarify for understanding. Not only is it polite, it benefits you!
