Overall, I’m happy with how my infographic project turned out. I feel that my objective of educating pupils about the significance of the play Antigone in contemporary society and inspiring them to comprehend its message has been accomplished. If I could go back and change anything, I would broaden the project’s focus to include a more in-depth examination and commentary on the play’s themes and motifs. In order to examine the concepts in further detail, I would also think about using other formats, like a podcast or video. Notwithstanding its shortcomings, the initiative, in my opinion, succeeded in fulfilling its goals and successfully conveying the relevance of Antigone to a modern audience. With this endeavor, I have learned a lot, and I will keep these lessons in mind as I look for new ways to explain difficult concepts.
