This is a comprehensive guide intended for class use for a full unit of study of Sophocles’ ‘ANTIGONE.’
This can be used as a stand alone unit for exclusive study of ‘Antigone’ only, as It provides contextual background of the Theban plays so that students do not need to have covered ‘Oedipus Rex’ or ‘Oedipus at Colonus’ to understand in depth the plot, characters and themes of ‘Antigone.’ If your students are covering additional Theban plays in their literature course, I offer a separate student study guide, “Oedipus Rex,” sold separately here.
This study guide is a highly visual resource aimed at engaging students with a variety of activities, including paragraph writing, crossword, class debate and discussion ideas, and contemporary examination of the thematic content.
Each of the numbered pages contains comprehension questions to check student understanding, reinforce learning and extend student processing of the thematic ideas of the text. The sections in the guide are
1. Background and context to the Oedipus cycle
2. Analysis and tasks on the nature of tragic drama
3. Levels of meaning in the text
4. Alternative interpretations and readings of the text
5. Comparative viewpoints within the text
6. Feminist reading of the text
7. Language usage in the text
8. Analysis of themes
This guide is created as a self-contained unit for students to work through independently at their individual rate. The material is of graduated complexity, taking students from basic elements to more advanced reasoning and the application of higher order skills. The material has been chosen and presented to engage students through a variety of activities to suit different skill levels.
