All Boys, All Blogged: February 6, 2015

Focus: According to Shakespeare, what does it mean to lead a noble life? What does it mean to have a noble death?

1. Warming up by acing a quiz on subjects and verbs (10 min)

2. Relaxing into your banned books (20-30 min) and setting a reading schedule for yourself

3. Reuniting with your acting company to tackle the following tasks:

a. Read the scene summaries for the rest of Act 5 so that you get a preview of Monday.

b. In "Ye Ole Daily Class Log" (or with sticky notes--your choice), keep a list of which characters die. For each one, discuss and write down...

• How each one dies

• Whether or not the death was "noble" (think back to your brainstorming from yesterday)

• How the manner of death is fitting for this particular character

c. Also in "Ye Ole Daily Class Log," try doing the following for EACH of the five acts:

On a plot level, Act 1 is about...

On a deeper level, Act 1 is about...

On a plot level, Act 2 is about...

(and continue this for all five acts)

HW:
1. Final versions of your word traces are due Tuesday at the latest. Remember that you should have at least eight entries.
