Trying to find a way to begin your Antigone unit? Use this lesson to introduce your class to the background of Oedipus and Antigone, as well as the historical context. They view a PowerPoint presentation about Oedipus and the story leading up to the beginning of Antigone, and then write the story of Oedipus's family tree and background. Though the lesson calls for a SMART board, teachers who can show PowerPoints in their classes could make use of this.
