Period 2: You can use this link to complete your facebook assignment:
Facebook Simulator (Thanks, Dominic) Final assignment includes:
1 script for each cast member -- script should be annotated: define any unknown words, indicate, entrance, movement, exits (using abbreviations), tone, pauses, emotion, delivery notes, actions -- be sure I know who's script I am getting (your name and your character name) If there are any cuts, this must be indicated on all scripts 1 script with paraphrased summary of action (modern English) 1 page that describes setting, time, place, (including year), prop list -- I'd be curious to know what food and drink you're serving at the banquet too. 1 page with either descriptions or drawings of costumes A diagram of the setting -- location of entrances, exits, banquet table, chairs, etc. 1 Character chart for each cast member You will be able to work on this for a portion of class again Monday/Tuesday. PERIOD 1 STUDENTS: IF YOU WERE ABSENT TODAY, IGNORE THE PROMPT BOOK PROJECT!!! COME TO MY OFFICE TO DO A MAKE UP QUIZ (10 QUESTIONS) AND COMPLETE THE WORK BELOW. For homework: Choose ONE of the questions attached. Write a one paragraph answer. (This will be relatively long paragraph.) Follow these instructions exactly! Because this is a play, when you include a quotation for support, the speaker must be identified BEFORE the quotation; also include the person(s) addressed and/or the situation or location. For example: When Lady Macbeth responds to her husband’s question about possible failure in their plot, she is incredulous that her spouse would even think to vocalize such a thought. At this point in the play, Lady Macbeth is determined and resolute. Her unwavering single-mindedness is readily apparent when Macbeth, still somewhat apprehensive, asks his wife, “If we should fail?” (I.vii.59), and Lady Macbeth replies with, “Screw your courage to the sticking-place/And we’ll not fail” (I.vii.60). Lady Macbeth next proposes her plan for her husband’s swift and opportune rise to power: murder the king and blame it on the guards. Rules of formal grammar apply-- no slang, no hashtags :-(, no contractions (except Shakespeare's) Grading Criteria: • Correct MLA formatting, including double spacing, heading, etc. Title • Strong topic sentence (Give a contention, what you will prove - this is your answer to the question, that you then support with evidence) • Third person point of view • Do not use "I," not even "I believe" Present verb tense • Write about literature in the present tense; it's happening now because it's being read now Spellchecked, grammar-checked, proofread outloud. • At least 3 supporting details or examples • Minimum 3 quotations, properly documented: (Act.scene.lines): (I.iii.3-6) • Summarizing clincher• http://www.nexuslearning.net/books/elements_of_lit_course6/Renaissance/collection%204/Macbeth3%20p1.htm Due at the beginning of class Monday / Tuesday Part I: Begin by watching the first half of the PBS Series Shakespeare Uncovered, In Search of Macbeth. I recommend you use your own headphones. There are some in the back. (Click on launch)
Prior to watching the clip, open these questions on the film. You may print and handwrite your answers, or split screens and type your answers. Regardless, the answers are due at the end of class. This is not homework. Part II: When you are finished, I'd like you to use the Bedford Martin Glossary of Literary Terms to define: Imagery, Metaphor, Simile, and Personification in your packets. Try to find an example of each one from Act I of Macbeth. I have linked to the same text that is in your book. Define aside and soliloquy using the same glossary (you do not need to find examples) Whatever you don't finish in class, please finish at home. These should be done before you come to your next class. If you do Part II for homework, you may use your textbook (Honors) instead of the online sources if you wish. Watch the clip of three different versions of 1.3 (which we've read in class). Go to the class blog and post which version you liked best and why? Now you're the director: Choose a setting (place and time, not just time of day, but time in history); what do the witches look like, what do they wear? You can change the lines if you like.
Look at the following link to screenplays to get an idea of how to write your Scene. I want you to describe the setting, the clothes, the actions, and include dialog. Read NoFear Shakespeare, Act I, Scene 2 Don't forget that your explications are due Tuesday and your sonnet is due Thursday. See below for help with the explication. Watch these three clips of Act I, Scene 1 of Macbeth. -- You DO NOT have to do this!
Here is a link to Act I, Scene 2 - you can also find Scenes 3 & 4 with notes here (or use your book) Please answer these questions regarding the film clip, and scenes 2 & 3. You can print and handwrite your answers or answer them on the computer (don't forget to save them) You ONLY need to complete 1 - 8! Finish reading through Scene 4 for Monday, Tuesday class. If you must: No Fear Shakespeare Don't forget that your sonnet is due on Monday. Here's the rough explication we completed in class of Sonnet 129:
Sonnet 129, by William Shakespeare, explores the feelings associated with lust. The poem addresses the three stages of lust: “had, having, and in quest to have” (10). The speaker describes this desire as “savage” and “murd’rous” (3,4). The consummation is “enjoyed,” but as soon as it is over, it is “despised” (5). This sonnet follows the Shakespearean pattern of three quatrains and a resolution in the couplet. The rhyme scheme is ababcdcdefefgg. The meter is iambic pentameter, with exceptions. The poet utilizes antithesis, parallelism, rapid movement, hunting imagery. The first line does not use any punctuation, including at the end of the line, so the poem rushes into the second line. The first stop is a semicolon halfway through the second line. The speed of the beginning of the poem mirrors the action portrayed throughout the poem. The second line not only focuses on the “action” in the sonnet, but also utilizes reversal and repetition: “Is lust in action; and till action, lust” (2). The frantic pace continues in lines three and four as the speaker lists the consequences of his lust. Some of these are particularly violent: “murd’rous, bloody, full of blame, / savage” (3-4). The first paragraph is primarily an overview and big picture. After that, as much as possible, discuss the poem line by line. You're trying to reveal how the author crafts the poem and creates meaning through the craft.

1. Drop down two posts and log in to vote for Senior Superlatives. (You have to log in so that you can only vote once.) 2. Find any digital edition of Frankenstein. Go to tagxedo.com and either copy and paste the text of Frankenstein or paste in the URL and create a word image of Frankenstein. You can play with different shapes, you can change fonts, colors, you can even find an image on google images and put your text into that image. It's fun, but it also helps you to see important ideas and themes within the text. Once you have finished, please save your final image -- a type of Found Poem for Frankenstein -- what you think captures the text -- title it with your name (FirstLast) and submit it to google docs in the folder for your class under the Frankenstein folder. 3. Go to the class blog and type in an idea or question for your Frankenstein paper. You do not need to respond to classmates. Be sure to finish the novel over the break. I would encourage you to write your paper. It is due on Friday, the 9th. Journals are due Wednesday / Thursday after your return. Have a great break! |
