Shakespeare:

Today in class...

Journal Prompt #1:  Please describe your experience with:  Reading Shakespeare, acting, and how well you do in school.  1 page.

You were each given a line of verse from a different play.  We tried showing how emotion can change the meaning.

I broke you into small groups and asked you to but the lines in the correct order.

I went over the insults and bad words that Shakespeare used.  We paired up and yelled insults at each other.

We viewed a 10 minute documentary explaining why Shakespeare remains important.

HW:  Please read CH 1-2 in Shakespeare Alive!  Please select a character from your reading that you will choose to be for Friday.  We will be exploring the stage and using the character you select in some short acting exercises.  Please also wear comfortable attire, as we will be romping and rolling....
