Interactive Stations AP Literture

What is our purpose? To examine how a central idea/theme develops over the course of a text. The central idea that we will examine is the impact of the tragic flaw in Shakespeare’s text.

What is a tragic flaw? In literature, the tragic flaw is a character trait that brings about the downfall of the protagonist; ironically, in some works, this "flaw" is the character's greatest strength taken to an extreme.

More on the tragic flaw Along with a change from ignorance to knowledge and a negative reversal of fortune, the tragic flaw is one of three elements of a classic tragedy. Some examples of tragic flaws might include hubris, indecisiveness, or lack of judgment.

Quick Write Discuss with your table group the following prompt: What is the protagonist’s tragic flaw in the Shakespearian text you studied?

Interactive Stations We will examine the central theme of the tragic flaw through interactive stations. 3 stations: 1.Graffiti wall 2.Tableau 3.Circle Discussion In your reading group, you will circulate through the three stations, spending 10 minutes at each station. Each group will circulate through each station until all 3 have been completed.

Overview of each station Graffiti wall: Prepare a quote of at least 3 lines representing the protagonist’s tragic flaw. The quote can be something spoken by the protagonist, or something someone spoke about the protagonist. 1.Write your quote on The chart paper. 2. Read and respond to other quotes by asking questions or writing down your reaction.

Overview of each station Tableau- Students will capture the protagonist’s tragic flaw in a frozen, silent tableau. When time is called, students will examine the groups at each of the tableaus, discuss, and then move to the next station.

Overview of each station Circle Discussion: Students will sit and discuss the central question below: 1.How might the story have been changed if __________ were not the protagonist’s tragic flaw? On your organizer you should jot down the reasonable ideas of your group members as well as references made to the text.

After completing stations... You will be asked to craft a short piece of writing regarding whether you feel that it is the protagonist’s tragic flaw that brought about his downfall, or do you feel that it was a different force working within the text? Explain.

Preparation for Interactive Stations Work with your table group to prepare your quote, and brainstorm for your tableau.
