Brit Lit:

Today in class we defined: Stress and inflection. To help you understand both, we broke into groups and I gave you a scenario to recite the same lines. Hopefully, this helped to understand how both can be used to dramatically alter the lines in a play. I am posting some of that for you guys to see...

Which led us to finish Act I in costumes. We discussed the powerful character of Lady Macbeth. I suggested that using stress and inflection can dramatically alter her scene at the end of the act where she learns about Macbeth's encounter with the weird sisters. Please plan on finishing our notes on Act I tomorrow, and expect a small quiz to follow. Please remember that you can use your notes on every quiz- so it is important to have that with you everyday.

HW- Please make sure that you have a first draft of your compare and contrast essay. We will be going to the computer lab Wed and I should have time to help anyone having a difficult time with this paper then.
