Feels Like Monday Cast 2010-11

World of Shakespeare:

Today:

We watched the film for Othello up to Act 3.

I broke you into groups of three and assigned the task of using a comical modern skit to show your understanding of 4 of the 6 language tricks that I defined yesterday. Do they all hold up well 400 years after?

The two groups that were not ready- please make sure you are ready at the start of class Monday.

Have a great weekend.

Soph Lit:

Today we finished watching Dead Poets Society. I hope that it gave you a bit of down time after MCAS. Be ready to go Monday as we get back into the swing of things and march full speed into poetry. Have a good weekend.

Wos:

Yesterday:

We disscussed Act 2. I gave you a quiz/writing prompt asking you to detail how act 2 fits the Shakesperian Tragedy mold that we have been covereing in class. If you were abcent, please complete this as soon as possible.

HW: Please find three solid examples of reverse sentence construction in act 1-2.

Today:

We looked at Shakesperian language tricks, and further discussed what specifically each can do in his plays.

We began sharing poems in class. About 1/2 of you had a chance to share. We will finish it up Thursday.

I passed out the poems features in The Dead Poets Society.

I hope that you all did your best on MCAS. I am confident that you all did well.
