Caliban again

Big Idea: What does it mean to be human?

After today I should be able to: What is the relationship between the characters in Act I and Act II?

Reading: You will read one book by February 10th.

Agenda:

1. Look at this map for the plot of the play.
2. Shakespeare's Language. Find an example of each type in the play. Add it to your notes.
3. We will start Act III today.
1. With a partner read 3.1. Every 20 lines or so, write a summary sentence about what is happening. That should be five sentences.
4. Watch 3.1
5. Character Motivations Timeline
1. Identify a key character: Choose a character whose motivations undergo significant shifts or reveal hidden layers in Act III. For example, Prospero, Ariel, Caliban, Antonio, or Sebastian could be interesting choices.
2. Map out the timeline: Draw a horizontal line representing the timeline of Act III, with major events or scenes marked at key points.
3. Analyze motivations at each point: At each event or scene, consider the character's motivations behind their actions, thoughts, or reactions. Write these motivations below the corresponding point on the timeline.
1. Use arrows to show evolution: If a character's motivations change or develop as the act progresses, use arrows to connect previous and new motivations. The direction of the arrow can indicate the specific type of change:
1. Upward arrow: Represents a strengthening or intensification of a motivation.
2. Downward arrow: Represents a weakening or fading of a motivation.
3. Curved arrow: Indicates a shift in focus or a change in direction for the motivation.
4. Label the arrows: Briefly explain the reason for the change in motivation near the arrow. This could be due to new information, a character's interaction with others, or an internal realization.

Homework:
