Shakespeare:

Today:

We played a round of Kahoots! to review act 2.

Comic-con, 12th Night Style:  You were each given a scene to make a comic from the play.  Today we outlined these.  Tomorrow, we with go to a lab and use storyboard that to make these into a final product.  The goal is to produce a full comic that we write as a class and post online.

We watched act III done by the new Globe.  As this is a comedy, did it help to see it, vs. read it?

HW:  Read act IV sc 1-2.

Today:

To tweet or not to tweet.....
