Stoic Homework

Focus on the first 20 lines of Antigone. Choose an objective for each character. Choose actions (what does each want to make the other feel?) for each sentence (keeping in mind that actions don't necessarily have to change from one sentence to another, but often do). For a little more detail, go to the Scoring Demo page (where you'll also find a version of the text).

Cynic Homework

Assign identified scenes: each Cynic scores a scene.
