Today in class we defined: Personification, Metaphor, Simile, Classical Allusion, Reversed word/thought/sentence construction. We talked about how these were the special effects during Shakespeare's plays.
Next, I broke you into groups and asked you to find examples from Act 1.
After lunch, we went outside and learned about stage fighting. I asked you to imagine that your pinkie finger was a 30 lbs. 4 foot sword. Videos above..... Then we swapped them out for light sabers and added a sci fi element.
HW- At the end of class we defined an aside. Please write a script (1/2 page or more) that ends with an aside that dramatically changes the scene. For example, a scary scene that become funny, or a tragic event that becomes insignificant. Remember, the aside is ONLY heard by your audience and can be a powerful insight into the character's mind. We will start class on Friday acting these out- so try and make them interesting! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with....
