Walk This Way Wednesday!

Block B: Great work on the group responses today! Also - keep up the awesome work on your text codes!! Read chapter 2 and complete a minimum of 3 text codes for tomorrow.

Block C: I'm pretty excited to hear your translated section of scene 2 tomorrow! Make sure your script is ready - and I will give you 10 minutes to practice before we start the show. Here are the questions from Act 1 that I will be collecting tomorrow as well.

1. How did Ariel and Caliban come to be Prospero's servants? How do they feel about their status?

2. What is Prospero's emotional state at the end of Act 1? What might be the reason for it?

3. In what ways are Miranda and Ferdinand like characters in a fairy tale? Why might Shakespeare have chosen to portray them in this way?

4. In the play, Miranda and Ferdinand fall in love immediately. Do you believe in "love at first sight" in real life? What are some dangers of falling in love so fast?

Block D: We've now finished reading Act 1 - and all characters are up for interpretation at this point! For tonight - find as many examples of simile and metaphor that you can in Act 1 scenes 4, 5, 6, and 7. Please also complete the T-Chart of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth's debate whether or not to kill King Duncan. On one side - write all the reasons why Macbeth says he should NOT kill the king, and on the other side list the reasons Lady Macbeth gives to convince her husband to follow through with the plan.
