About This Lesson
Students will study the traditional elements of Greek Drama, analyze the qualities of an epic hero and then choose one of the offered prompts to complete and submit an authentic product. If they have other ideas, they will have to get the teacher’s approval. At the end, each student will reflect on his/her work, collaboration and contribution. Peers will give constructive criticism on the performance/authentic product and give suggestions for improvement. In terms of teacher's feedback, students will be graded according to the rubric. Once students have submitted their work, they will have the opportunity to reflect on their tasks and the entirety of the Greek tragedy project. In a recorded reflection, students will reflect on their product, collaboration, contribution and presentation. They will answer questions such as: What elements of the product you created were best reflected in the task you wrote/performed? What were the strengths of your piece? If you were to do this project again, what would change?
