A Block: We went on stage and covered blocking and the importance of stage movement. We defined an aside.
C Block: We wrote a letter from Macbeth to Lady Macbeth. I counted this as a quiz.

We acted Act 2, sc 1-2. Please finish sc 2 for HW, and study the terms that I gave you.

Today:
Journal Prompt #13:
Please write a one page letter to yourself in the past.
We worked on 5 improv scenes that will tie in with the events in Macbeth. Hopefully, the skits will help with your understanding some of the themes in the play.
We watched the battle sequence from the movie Braveheart to show what is was like to be returning from a battle that would be described as "two swimmers that cling to each other."
We acted Act 1, sc 2-3
