Shakespeare

Today:

Journal Prompt:  Write a two page diary from Iago's perspective.  Please include all of the events in Act 1+2.

We talked about different forms of comedy.  We watched the" who's on first" skit to show examples of puns, timing, and physical comedy.  I broke you into groups of 4 to try and figure out a way to make act 3, sc 1 funny.

We performed these.  Only one group went for the obvious wind instrument reference.  You are all way more mature than your teacher.

HW:  Please read Act 3.  On Friday, we will be reviewing the play so far and watching a new version of the story.
