Michelangelos' Minos - Sistine ChapelSchema: SAT question of the day – vocabulary.
We reviewed first section of Success with Words - the influence of Latin roots.
The Student Canto project was introduced. Students are assigned a canto that they will teach to the class. They must read the canto along with the canti that precede and follow. This will allow for a better understanding of the canto’s action, from where Dante came and where he is going. The PowerPoint must present specific information, have appropriate visuals, and quotes from the poem to support the presentation. The rubric and sample canto presentations are on Student Public (section below)
• Read assigned canto + canto before and after
• Create a PowerPoint with visuals to teach the canto to the class
• The PowerPoint will list:
– Canto # and Circle #
– the sin/sinners and their punishment
– Mythic figure (if in canto)
– primary sinner(s) if named
• and
– provide a brief description of the action
– Discuss symbols, allegory, imagery, archetypes
– Must cite from the text at least twice
Canto V finds us in the Second Circle with the Carnal. We meet Minos who assigns sinners to their appropriate circle with his tail (e.g. circle five is five wraps of the tail). The carnal are caught up in a terrible whirlwind (reflecting their passions) and see a number of lusty sinners such as Helen of Troy and Achilles. Dante is still sympathetic with the sinners and swoons; this is key since he must learn that the sinners choose to be in the inferno and he should not feel sorry for them.
