Today....
1st Annual Shakespeare Olympic Games
To be held on the first unexpectedly warm school day…
Events:
Superior Spring Sonnet. Find a quiet spot outside to sit and write a sonnet that draws inspiration from the fabulous weather that we are having.
Must include the following that we have discussed:
Iambic Pentameter with marked stressed and unstressed syllables
14 Lines
ABAB CDCD EFEF GG with end lines marked
Last two lines answer a question, or is used as a “power chord”
Pinky Sword Fight. Imagine that your pinky finger is a four foot, 45 lbs. sword. But together a group sword fight that shows both the weight and size of your sword in an epic battle from Hamlet, or another play of your choosing.
3. Epic Line battle. FIGHT! Race to your line, read it with power and emotion and pass it to the next student. Repeat. First group to the finish line reading all lines wins the round.
Winners will be announced for each round. Student(s) with the most awards, wins a prize.
