    Antigone Group Project Assignments

    Directions: Each group can have a maximum of 3 members. You must sign up for a project
    in advance. First come, first served.
    Scoring: All projects will be both peer and teacher graded. You will score yourself and your
    group, and will score the presentations.
    Select a Scene Project:
    Groups will select which scene (Prologue, scenes 1,2,3,4, 5, or Exodus) they will act out.

    Groups should update the scene to be either in modern times OR may paraphrase
    the dialogue to be more easily understood for the class. You may not use your
    textbook while presenting, but you may have minimal note cards.
    Each person in the group will be either a character or represent the chorus or
    choragus (chorus leader). Each person may play more than one character. Groups
    may present in costume or not in costume. Groups may choose to use music,
    dancing, props, or scenery to make their presentation more interesting.
    The presentations of the scenes will be approx. 5 minutes or less. We will have time
    in class to rehearse these presentations.

    Greece and present their findings to the class. They will be using books and/or the internet

    or is influenced by ancient or modern Greece.
    Be sure to answer the following questions:

    What kinds of instruments did they have during this period?


    Was music an important part of the culture of ancient Greece?
    Make a comparison of Modern Music:

    like?
    Do you think that Ancient Music lives on in some modern music?

    and touch on the Arts, Entertainment, Jobs, Daily Life, and Architecture to share with the

    The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece:

    childrens book with pictures telling who they are and a myth story about them. This group
    will help the class learn about the time of Ancient Greece by showing the relationships
    between the people and their gods.
    Your introduction will include information about:

    Did all ancient Greeks believe in the gods?


    Who did not believe in them?
    What is the definition of Pantheon? Explain its meaning and root words.

    ancient Greece great even today.

    The Elements of a Tragedy:


    What makes a true tragedy? This group will research a popular tragic hero in literature
    (book or movie) and create a PowerPoint or Prezi about him/her. In your presentation:

    Explain the elements of a tragedy.

    Identify and explain the qualities of a tragic hero. How does this character embody
    them? Be specific.
    Define tragic flaw (hamartia). What is this characters hamartia?
    Explain the word catharsis.
    How does the story create catharsis for the audience?

    the play? How do you identify with the tragic hero in the text?
