Friday, December 3

We watched yet another film version of "Antigone." We did this so that students might see how a work of literature is open to many different interpretations. Students should understand the full range of possibilities availabe to them when working on their "Antigone" movie project.

After watching about 40 minutes of the film, I handed out instructions for the movie project. Students are to imagine that they are directing a film version of the play "Antigone" and sending a submissions packet to a film distribution company. Their packet will include many different pieces of writing, such as a cover letter, a script excerpt, and a summary of the plot and setting.

Full details are available on the handout. This project will be due Monday, December 13 and count for a test grade.
