READY SET GO!

The race has begun!!!

We have officially began the race to finish 17 plays!!!! Can you feel the excitement!!! WOO!! I can't wait till Thursday to see how far everyone has gone! Remember you can watch, read or listen to any of Shakespeare's plays. AND if you WATCH and READ the subtitles at the same time you can count it TWICE for the race. Also if you LISTEN and READ along you can count it TWICE for the race. Each play can only be counted twice. So, sorry, no watching the same play over and over and over and over and over again..lol...

At class we talked about RESPECT! Respect for each other, respect for the classroom and respect for the mentors. What a great rule everyone! By the way everyone was acting last Thursday, I can tell that this will be an easy rule for everyone to follow.

Don't forge the bonus question! Where is Burgundy??? Super prize for the winner!

The reading assignment for this week in King Lear is Act I Scene I. --On the handout it says Week 2, that is the week that we will discuss that assignment in class. So on week 2 we will discuss Act I Scene I. Make sense?

The writing assignment for this week is: What is the difference between acting and reacting? Give two examples.

Double bonus time!!! Post a comment or ask a question etc. for this entry before Thursday the 27th, and you get an extra treat from the candy jar!!! Super easy candy!--click on the word "comments" just below this entry.

    Zach, excellant question!! The setpiece was chosen by LEMI (the group that trained us), not us. Any thoughts on why out of all the setpieces and soliquies it would have been chosen???...hhhhmmmmm

    Tara, GIRL you can totally do this! One play is such a great start!! I know its confusing at first, just don't give up! It gets easier I PROMISE!! As for the presentation, think of what interests you now and you could learn about it in the Elizabethian time-like torchuring your brother-- you could learn about crime and punishment (Off with his head!)--its really gory though just to prepare yourself! Or if you love fashion, you could learn about the clothes from back then. I know you will do great!!

    We will talk more about it at class tomorrow too!
