November 8

JOURNAL TOPIC:
Shakespeare's plays were performed "in the round." What are the advantages and disadvantages of telling a story in this way? Consider the perspectives of the author, the actors, the stagehands and the audience.

AGENDA:
1. Journal/check HW
2. Brief background: William Shakespeare (and how you can avoid the fate of so many generations of H.S. students who have needlessly suffered while reading the greatest writer ever to use the English language)
3. Julius Caesar Act I/Scenes i-ii


HW: Read Act I/Scene iii (possible quiz Tue. 11/9)
