Antigone on Trial: LIVE!

Hey Cast and Crew!
10th Honors and 9th Honors are on board to be our jury!  (You didn't tell me you read Oedipus Rex Sophomore year!  The 10th graders are just starting their unit on Oedipus Rex and ancient Greece, so your trial is going to be an AWESOME way for them to get deeper into the Big Thoughts behind all the Greek blood and gore.)

Also, Wednesday is Veterans' Day Chapel...so let's do this for the other classes on THURSDAY.
So, the plan:

*Directors, organize as necessary this weekend and Monday to make sure you're able to compile the overall script/plan/order of operations for Tuesday--thanks!  Let me know if you need anything. Feel free to use comments on this blog, or your own, or whatever, to communicate.

*If anyone needs another overview of ancient Greek court proceedings, this account of Socrates' trial is fairly efficient.

Monday:  MOR due (5 pages each person, one quote per page, questions for each other, make sure you deal with the ending) --Partners work together in class to complete a Reading Card for your MOR book.  Homework: all Antigone written work due Tuesday / Journal for Wednesday (Make it one I can read? tell me how you're doing at this quarter mark!)

Tuesday: Due: All Antigone written work
Dress Rehearsal!  We'll do this for real today--as best we can.
(If we slop over into Wednesday a bit, okay--then we can adjust to fit one class period for the performance version on Thursday)
Homework: Journal for Wednesday (one I can read--Dear Mrs. Disher...How's the year? How's class? How's you?)

Wednesday: (Journal due that I can read), finish any leftover trial, make adjustments and preparations for Thursday
Homework: Be ready for Thursday!!!

Thursday: Antigone on Trial: LIVE from the SCS Library!
Homework: Blog post reflecting on the "Trial" process and performance--what did you learn? How did having a jury change anything?  You know the drill: think, write, help your brains grow, etc.

Friday: Blog post due.
Do cool AP class stuff.
Homework: There will be some. (But I bet it'll be AWESOME...also you lucky dogs won't have school Monday, Tuesday, OR Wednesday. Tell your parents to come say hi to me at conferences! I'm going to get so bored telling them how fantastic you all are, over and over again. :-)
