Finish 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!

Once again, the requirements were: [|antigone research project rubric.doc]
 * Groups will research their given topics and create an informative presentation for the class. Presentations should be engaging, information rich, and well practiced.
 * Groups must use visual aids in presentations. These may be in the form of PowerPoint presentations, videos, 3D models, etc.
 * Sources must be cited in the presentation (i.e. credits of video/ppt) AND in an MLA works cited page.
 * Turn in typed speaker notes, electronic copies or printouts of ppts/videos, and works cited page.

Lit Circles
You should have read lines 795-the end before Wednesday, April 20. Here is the linked online text with your starting point highlighted. Line 905 on the online text to the end of the play. You also should have finished the prep notes for this week!

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 .
