Homework: 1) Complete Worksheet on Antigone and Socrates (handout) for MONDAY 10/26. Bring this worksheet to your history class on that day.
Note: For the Socrates section of the worksheet, you may use quotes from Plato’s Crito, The Greeks (the film), and Cartoon History of the World. When you quote from the Crito, in parentheses at the end of your sentence write (Plato, 1) or (Plato, 2). The 1 or 2 indicates the page number where the quote was found. If you quote from The Greeks or Cartoon History of the World, put the titles in italics in parentheses at the end of your sentence. For example: (The Greeks).
