Crossed Lovers

 Big Idea: What does it mean to be human?

After today I should be able to: 

Reading: You are currently reading a book of your choice. It should be done by the second week of December.

Agenda:

  1. Watch the scene from yesterday.
  2. Crossed Lovers
    1. All guys will read Lysander's lines and all the girls will read Hermia's lines, 1.1.130-142. Our Hermia and Lysander will read 1.1.158-181. What are they saying to each other?
  3. Establishing acting companies
    1. Like the rude mechanicals, each of you will be in an acting group.
      1. You need a name
      2. A regular place to practice
      3. A rotation order for directors
  4. Acting companies at work
    1. You will follow this procedure for reading a new scene
      1. round-robin reading to a period, semicolon, colon, or question mark
      2. circling words you don't know and agreeing on a definition
      3. paraphrasing hard-to-understand phrases into modern English
      4. making sense of the scene
    2. Try this procedure with 1.1.180-250. This should take around 20 minutes.
  5. Notice and Note
    1. We will add to our Notice and Note page from yesterday.
    2. One idea that will come up again and again is love. Always note when this idea comes up and what the characters are presenting about this idea.
