Year 2 students perform skits from Sophocles' tragedy, Antigone in Ms Smith's English class. When students embody characters from a play, it deepens their understanding of the character's feelings and motivations!
Students utilize the Graduate Outcomes of Respectful Collaborators, Effective Communicators, and Engaged Citizens to craft their skit- then the class votes on the best performances, just like in Ancient Greece! The winners are honored with a wreath!
