Today:
Journal: Free write. Write about anything that is on your mind. 1/2 page min. RANT!
We played with the ipads and the app Globe 360. We used the app to learn about the Globe, play with some cool VR and place a 3d model on anyplace that you put the printed marker.
You were asked to find 10 facts about the Globe. We went around the room and each had the chance to share one.
We looked at Ethan Hawke discussing the history behind the play and what he went through to prep for the part.
A Block was assigned officially their 10 lines to be memorized by next Friday. To be consistent, B block also had the due date for Friday.
HW: Begin learning your lines.

You will have Friday to complete a music video for your song.
Reminder: You will be doing confidential assessment on the involvement of each person in your group. Please make sure that you have a clearly defined role.

Today:
Journal: Doodle and daydream for the first 10 min.
We watched a globe production of act 1+2. As much of the comedy is physical, I think it helps to see it. I hope it made you laugh at least a few times.
We broke into your groups and brainstormed on how to put together your project together.
Thursday: Record song
Friday: Make a music video/doc. on your song. Be creative. I am grading this mostly on effort.

Tomorrow,
and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
