Day 1: Sit in your Color Groups
SWBAT: Demonstrate their understanding of the “Allegory of the Cave” by creating a coming strip. Group reading of AotC Group work time Reflection: How do you feel like this short play was a metaphor for you? Do you think it is good to be in a cave? Do you think that we sometimes are looked at differently for understanding ideas that others do not or for having a different view on life than others do? Summary

Group Reading With your color group choose to be Socrates, Glaucon, or the narrator (read the italicized words) Read AotC, stopping at the end of each section or page to annotate and summarize what is happening. You will need 1—12 events that you have noted from the entire play. YOU MUST COVER THE ENTIRE PLAY!!! DO NOT HAVE 12 EVENTS FROM THE FIRST PAGE!!! When you have finished, create a T-Chart where you choose three similarities between the play and real life. Write these on the Right Side of your notebook. This will be a grade!!!!

Comic Strip Activity Today, you will create a box comic strip highlighting the events that you noted on the right side. You have one class periods to do this, so you need to work together and assign duties so that everyone works together. You CANNOT TAKE THIS HOME!!! That wouldn’t be fair because you don’t live in the same house as your group members. Have FUN!!!! ***Note: a suggestion would be to number 1-10 and then choose which events you will highlight. ***Make sure that you don’t leave any important parts of the story out of your comic strip ***Use your time wisely. Do not spend so much time on your coloring and drawing that you do not finish. What you have completed will be what is graded (and displayed in the hallway)
