WOS:

Today:

We started class with a quiz on the comedy terms that we defined earlier in the week.

We had a discussion on the lack of stage directions left in the plays.  We speculated why this is.  We used A. Miller as a strong contrast to Shakespeare.  Miller used stage direction excessively, while Will used almost none.  We talked about how this would change the direction.

I let you pick groups between 4-5 students.  You were tasked with picking any 4 pages of script from act I and write stage direction for every 30 sec.  You also had to incorporate 3 examples of physical comedy.

We performed these on stage.

Each group based in their stage direction for a grade.
