Brit Lit:

Today:

We started with journal prompt #11:

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?  Imagine five years after the wishes- how specifically would your life change.  Please be specific.  1 Page

I gave you each a line of verse from a Shakespeare play.  Each row was tasked with one of the following:
Stress
Inflection
Emotion.

We talked about how each of these can help with giving life and feeling to the lines.

We went over Shakespeare's Language tricks:

Personification
Simile
Metaphor
Classical Allusion
Reverse word
Reverse Thought
Reversed sentence construction.

We acted Act 1, sc 1-2 in Macbeth.
