Trying to find a way to begin your Antigone unit? Use this instructional activity 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 instructional activity calls for a SMART board, teachers who can show PowerPoints in their classes could make use of this.
