Shakespeare:

Today:

We started off talking about what you find funny.  We brainstormed a list.

I passed out a sheet of comedy terms to define and broke you into groups.

We looked specifically at 1.3 Lines 44-139.  I had you find examples of the terms given.

We discussed timing.

We looked at the delivery of lines to try and make something funny.

We performed parts of Act 1 using as many comedic devices as possible.
