WOS:

We discussed your reading from HW and looked at other movies and stories that start with an outside story.

I played you an example of The Taming of the Shrew modern HS version.  We will be doing this project after we finish the play in the next 2 weeks.

We finished watching the last Tempest project presentation.  I will have those grades Tuesday

We acted out act 1 with one person reading the lines, and another acting out the emotions of the scene.  We will try this again when we get a bit further in the play.

HW- None- enjoy the weekend.
