The Tempest

WOS Final Exam Review Sheet:

The World of Shakespeare: Final Exam Review Sheet 2013
We read the following: Othello, Hamlet, The Tempest, The Twelfth Night, sonnets.
The following prompts are possible questions to consider (hint, hint):

#1 Examine the relationship in terms of a timeline between Desdemona and Othello. Please make sure to examine the end of their relationship, and how specifically Othello believes she has not been faithful. Examine how 4 characters other than Othello are directly, or indirectly responsible for the tragic ending.

#2 Please explain the ending of the 12th Night. Did true love prevail? Were you satisfied with the ending? Why or Why not? Please use specific details in your response.

#3 Talk about what makes a Shakespearian tragedy. Please examine one tragedy in your study group and discuss how it fits the definition.

#4 Please define the following literary devices that Shakespeare uses:

Alliteration, simile, metaphor, reversed word, reversed sentence construction, classical allusion, personification, suspension of disbelief, aside, using language to show class and status in the play. You should have three examples of each term and be ready to explain how they are used.

#5 Character can be defined by how one handles power. Look at 3 characters and discuss how well they handled power.

#6 Discuss the use of comedy in his plays. What ideas and specific plays hold up well and still make us laugh. Please use 3 specific scenes in your discussions.

7. Love, and the quest for love are important themes in many of Shakespeare’s plays. Please examine three relationships and explain in detail how they played out in specific detail using the 3 of the following plays: The 12th Night, Hamlet, Othello.

#8 Define a Shakespearian Sonnet. What did his sonnets reveal about him that his plays may not have? Pick a sonnet and be familiar enough with it that you could reference it in an answer. Be prepared to write an original sonnet about this class that follows the rules and rhyme pattern of a sonnet. You might wish to write this before the exam and have it on your page of notes.

The last 6 days…

For our final project with the SENIORS! I will be breaking you into groups. After watching The Tempest, each of you will need to select from the following projects:

1. You act the scene: Perform one act of the play on stage, in costume (15 minute min.)


2. You play the teacher: Teach a 30 minute class on any aspect of the play. You have long imagined it, now try it. Much like a real teacher, your aim should be to use varied, interesting instruction. This must include some form of assessment at the end.


3. You make the Movie: Select one scene from the play and film and edit it. (10 minute min.) Please only consider this if you have equipment available.


4. The Tempest, Part 2. Create a sequel to the play. You must have a script and a way (storyboard/powerpoint, etc.) to present it to the class. (15 min)


5. Will: The Remix Take 5 characters (2 must be from The Tempest) and remix them into an original scene to be performed in front of the class. You may wish to film this if that is easier. (15 min)


6. Project idea of you own? See me! Anything flies.


Timeline:

Day 1 + some of 2: Watch The Tempest. Pass out play and answer questions.

Day 2: Brainstorm and write one page outline of final project. In your outline, please clearly identify each responsibility of the group. Please define objectives for each work day. This must be approved by me before you begin.

Many more examples of ordinary folk sharing meaningful poetry. 

Brit Lit:

Today:
I passed back your journals.

Journal prompt #20:  Write a poem of at least 14 lines that is about love.

We covered the poetry of, Donne, Jonson, Herrick, and Milton.  The biggies. 

I introduced the poetry project.

HW:  Please write a 3-5 sent. paragraph that explains in detail a connection to the favorite poem that you brought in.

Brit Lit:

Over the next week, we will be working on a full class project. Each of you will need to select a poem that you connect with in some way and film a short in the same style as the samples that we watched in class. The assignment works best if you choose a poem that connects to things that you are feeling right now in your life.

One thing the camera brings to the reading of a poem is the opportunity to watch a person saying a poem. Especially if the poem is something the reader treasures, you can see and hear a distinct change in face, voice, even the mildest gesture, when the person says the poem aloud. It would not be very interesting to watch someone looking at a piece of art or watching a film, dance or play — one reason art viewers and audience members all face the same way and are often in the dark. The same way one can witness pleasure and intensity in the face and movement of a musician singing or playing a song, one can gain things by watching the reader of a poem, whose instrument is the body

This project can also work with you asking an adult to complete the same assignment. Please see me if you would rather have another person and I will outline your specific responsibilities for this assignment.

Once your poem is selected, you will be given a window of time to record three things:



1. A short 3-5 sentence description of who you are. This should also include separate shots of you doing a few things that you do for enjoyment. For example, if might define yourself as a dancer, you might choose to record some footage of your dance class. We will then edit the shots of you talking about yourself with the footage of you doing something that defines a part of who you are.





2. Why you like the poem. You need to speak from the heart during this part. You will record a short part explaining how the poem impacted you.





3. Read the entire poem with feeling. It will be helpful to have a strong familiarity with the poem.





Similar to the short clips that I showed you in class, we will then edit it into a short documentary. My hope is that we will be able to air these on public cable and online.

We started with a funny modern sonnet:
Sonnet - Billy Collins


All we need is fourteen lines, well, thirteen now,
and after this one just a dozen
to launch a little ship on love's storm-tossed seas,
then only ten more left like rows of beans.
How easily it goes unless you get Elizabethan
and insist the iambic bongos must be played
and rhymes positioned at the ends of lines,
one for every station of the cross.
But hang on here wile we make the turn
into the final six where all will be resolved,
where longing and heartache will find an end,
where Laura will tell Petrarch to put down his pen,
Take off those crazy medieval tights,
blow out the lights, and come at last to bed.

I passed back your most recent work.

12th Night or What You Will Class Song Project

Most do not realize the The 12th Night was Shakespeare's most musical.  My Shakespeare class was tasked with taking the 400+ year old music from the play, and modernizing it into a song that was targeted to their class.  Great job on the vocals, the audio mix, and the group members.

The Twelfth Night


Essay Exam
Please answer the following questions in well written essay format. Please make sure that you back up all statements will solid examples from the play. You may use your scripts and any notes that you have to answer each question.



1. One critic has called this play “an anthology of madness”. He states that with the exception of viola and Sebastian, almost everyone in the play exhibits some form of extreme behavior which separates him or her from the norm. Please give three examples of characters exhibiting such abnormal behavior. How does this lens itself to the comedy of the play?





2. Often, the charm and humor of this Shakespearean comedy are still appealing and engaging to a modern audience. How are Viola, Malvolio, Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek responsible for the humor in the play?





3. The basic fuel for the play is in mistaken identity. Seemingly everyone is in love with a person that is not the person that they truly are. Please examine the love relationships in the play and detail how this is resolved in Act 5.


You may bring in any notes to assist you, but the the main part of your writing must be done in class.
