Narcissus

Narcissus by Caravaggio
Goal: Make observations on a new piece of artwork

Agenda: 
Journal
"Zoom In" to a New "Text"
Explaining the Myth
Navigating the Waters

1. Journal 
What is narcissism?

2. "Zoom In" to a New "Text"
We're going to finish "zooming in" to our last "text" before we go on break.

3. Explaining the Myth
I'm going to show you a video that explains who Narcissus is in the different mythological versions of the story (Roman and Greek).
  • The Story of Echo and Narcissus
  • The Story of Narcissus and Ameinias 
4. Navigating the Waters
  • There are questions I'm handing you on paper that ask about "Narcissus." 
  • We're going to complete these in table groups. 
  • When you finish, I have another question for you to consider. 
5. Text to World

  • Are there any public figures you can think of who are in love with themselves? 
  • Is it lonely to have a life where you cannot be in a relationship with anyone but yourself?
Reminders: 
Have a fantastic day!
