Brit Lit:

Today:

A Block:

 We started with stress and inflection. Each row was given different lines from different plays and then asked to use stress and inflection.

We defined all of the things Shakespeare uses for language tricks.

We took a quiz on the notes given yesterday. If you were abs., please make up asap.

We looked at a clip of Yoda showing reversed thoughts/words

We continued act 1.

C Block:

We broke into groups and worked on changing the word order of a sentence.  We discussed how this can change the meaning.  We also looked at how Shakespeare does this all over the place.  Look for it.

We talked about what battle would have been like during this time.  To showcase this, we watch a 5 min battle sequence from the movie Braveheart.

We acted act 1, sc2-3.

We took notes and defined a Shakespeare Tragedy.  I taught you the secret sauce.

We ended class breaking into groups of 4 to find 4 examples of the language tricks that we covered in class yesterday.
