This week Grade 12 wrapped up their last text before the inevitable exams hit! Antigone, by Sophocles, proved to be a very interesting text to analyze, despite the bare-bones, “made for tv” translation that we used. Rather than contend with complex language, the simplistic translation allowed us to dig deeper into the big ideas, which worked really well with our final activity: a Socratic Seminar! The students did an amazing job of discussing the “big picture” ideas and really arguing their perspectives as they presented their thoughts based on the texts. Well done, grade 12, and now let’s gear up for exams!
