Block B: I hope our inference reminder lesson helped you figure out - that inference goes beyond prediction and into the depth of your understanding. Thanks for your group work today - there is NO homework tonight!
Block C: Today we talked about the treatment of Caliban vs. the treatment of Ariel. We then finished reading Act 3 of the play. Please study for the quiz and complete the venn diagram of the differences between the relationship between Miranda and Ferdinand and Miranda and Caliban. Here are the questions for the act to complete as well:
1. What is Prospero's goal in letting Miranda and Ferdinand get to know each other? What will Prospero gain by the arrangement?
2. What plan does Caliban suggest for killing Prospero? What earlier scene does this echo?
3. What terrible realization does Alonso have at the end of Act 3 about his conduct toward Prospero and what he believes to be Ferdinand's fate? What does he decide to do? How is nature involved in his realization?
4. Caliban's speech that begins "Be not afeared . . ." (3.2.130-138) is one of the best known in the play. Paraphrase the speech. Then evaluate it for what it reveals about Caliban as a character in the play and as poetry.
Block D: Today in class we read up to the end of Act 3 scene 4. We then completed the You're the Director activity. For those who were participating in the Social Responsibility Day for our grade 8s, please make sure that you've caught up on the reading for tomorrow! No homework tonight :)
