Tuesday- cast parts and begin reading Antigone

Wednesday- continued reading of Antigone

Thursday- finish reading Antigone; begin watching film version of the play

Friday- finish watching film version of the play; handout and discuss the requirements for our Antigone project Students will imagine that they are proposing an Antigone movie to production companies. For this project, they will need to complete a variety of tasks, such as writing a cover letter, writing a sample script, creating a movie poster, etc. Next week, I will give a small amount of class time and instruction on how to complete these tasks.
