World of Shakespeare:

Today in class:

We had a quiz on your Shakespeare terms.

I defined an aside, and we broke into small groups to create a skit that featured an aside. We discussed how an aside can produce comedy. We also talked about a new concept: suspension of disbelief. This is important to realize- especially in a comedy. If you question things with a rational mind, large holes begin to emerge in any of his plays.

We finished Act 1.

HW: Please read Act 2 and have a general understanding of events.
