Shakespeare:

I gave you each a line of verse from a Shakespeare play. Each row was tasked with one of the following:


Stress
Inflection
Emotion.

We talked about how each of these can help with giving life and feeling to the lines.



We went over Shakespeare's Language tricks:

Personification

Simile

Metaphor

Classical Allusion

Reverse word

Reverse Thought

Reversed sentence construction.

We broke into groups and found examples of each in act 1 in Othello.
