Thursday 15 Sept- AP Lang

14 Sep

Today we will read and take some notes on Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. There are several versions online, so make sure you get the whole thing. These two are not complete, but have good illustrations.


Allegory of the Cave.
Another link with a different illustration.

Tomorrow we will have a circle discussion about this text focusing on the ideas as well as Plato’s rhetorical strategies. You may want to print a copy for tomorrow’s activity.

Let’s take a look at this claymation adaptation of The Cave. It’s really good.

Homework- Read “Cave” again and make more notes. Work on that college essay.

Here are your assigned dates for teaching us something.
