Pandora? I hardly know ya!


Representations of Pandora: A Brief Unit of an Old Story

(A Lesson Plan by Gili)

As a class, summarize the myth, Pandora’s Box.

Look at a collection of visual representations of Pandora’s Box:

1. A Student project (3:25 into it)

2. A collection of artistic representations of Pandora's Box

3. Stop Motion Pandora's Box

4. An artsy animated short

Now let's look at some musical representations (pass out lyrics)

5. OMD

6. Aerosmith

7. Donna Summer

Discuss all of the representations.

Split the class into groups of two. Have each write lyrics to their own version of a song titled, Pandora’s Box.

Each group presents their song to the class.
