Global I - A schedule

What is Plato's main goal in "The Republic?"

We summarized the plot & symbolism used in Antigone. We paired up and compared each Antigone mask to a character in Plato's society.

• Which role of The Republic would your character fall into & why? (farmers/artisans, warriors, or rulers)
• What is a virtue or value your character would appeal to?
• Imagine a conversation about government between Socrates and your character. What would be the topics & ideas of the discussion?
• In a CSE, argue for the system of government Plato described or the ideas of justice described in Antigone. (Use 5-7-5 format for the CSE.)

  After you discuss your character's role, add any words or symbols that would identify them with The Republic.
  If you did not finish the worksheet in class it needs to be completed as homework.
  Remember, we will be testing over our Greece unit on Wednesday, February16.
