My Project

My students are New Yorkers through and through. Coming from all around the city to Harlem to prepare for college part of that is a diverse diet of texts that are culturally relevant and canonically reverent. To start off this year, I want students to have a chance to read Sophocles's Antigone. It is a story of standing up for what is right despite what the law may say, but it also questions if the cost of one's convictions is worth it. It is a story that brings up more questions than answers... which is where the complexity and critical thinking comes in!
