Shakespeare:

Today:

Dan started class with a guitar solo. (video to follow)

We again defined Allusion.

We looked at both a modern and classic allusion:

First we watched a clip from Monty Python- Measure for Measure under water

Then we read a poem based on a future character Mariana by Tennyson

I asked you to pick any character, major or minor and write a poem from their perspective.  One line had to have come from a line in a play. Min req. 14 lines.

We shared a few great ones.

We read act 2, sc 3 to the point where Angelo makes his proposition to Isabella.  We also discussed briefly how creepy this is and why people were so fearful of open sexuality.

HW:  Please find any Shakespeare allusion.  We will share these Thursday and Friday.  They should be under 3 minutes in length.
