Brit Lit:

For HW: please read The Green Knight in your anthologies.

Today in class I used a program to lower and raise your voices as we acted out the play Everyman. Everyman is an example of a mortality play- written for the "common man" to teach a moral. After we had moderate fun with making the voice of Death sound real slow and evil, we spent the 2nd part of class making short mortality skits. Please see me if you missed thia activity, as it was graded.
