Here is the document

An added extra

See if you can watch this:

Friday Dec 14

Today we had a bit of a meeting in the gym with the principal ... as a grade level.

That was interesting; we were told to watch how we eat in the cafeteria, the new vaping laws and about the uniform.

It was all good - it did take up about twenty minutes, though.

We just finished the last scene in Twelfth Night ... and then class ended. We will get to the Character Sketches on Monday to make sure everything is ready to hand in on Wednesday.

On to Monday!

Thursday Dec 13

Today we watched Act IV and got all the questions for the Act rom the Unit Outline to answer for homework.

We had some difficulty with some of the vocab and tomorrow we will do the Character Sketches together.

We will make it happen

Oh and we are going to hand in Part 2 of 12N on Dec 19th.

Wed Dec 12

The much anticipated duel between Cesario and Sir Andrew will look like this ...

We got through a good big chunk of Act III of 12N. It was .... well, the English teacher thought it was funny.

Lots of gags and English teacher funny jokes. And dad jokes, too.

Thursday and Friday Dec 6

We did get through a bit of the play today and did some work ont he terms for the play, too:

Right ... we will see you on Monday!

Wed Dec 5

OLIVIA.
What is your parentage?
'Above my fortunes, yet my state is well:
I am a gentleman.'—I'll be sworn thou art;
Thy tongue, thy face, thy limbs, actions, and spirit,
Do give thee five-fold blazon. Not too fast:—soft, soft!
Unless the master were the man.—How now?
Even so quickly may one catch the plague?
Methinks I feel this youth's perfections
With an invisible and subtle stealth
To creep in at mine eyes.


This is the speech from I, v.

We did a bit of work with it today, and we'll be working with that quote again.

During the class, we did talk about the vocabulary and the questions already assigned.

You need to get into the habit of bringing your work to class, either on paper or on your device. We also need to remember that your devices are tools, not toys.

Here are the questions you should have done already:

I will also post the due dates tonight.

Ok, see you tomorrow!

Oh yeah ... one more thing:

Do I really have to say not to do this?

Tues Dec 4

Today we took a step back and looked at a few opening scenes in Shakespeare's plays:

First, it was Romeo and Juliet. This isn't the best clip, but you get the basic idea:




Next up was Macbeth ... and here are a few versions of the opening scene:





There are a lot of others, but that will do to help figure out question 1 for the homework.

After that, we watched tot he end of Act II, i and got questions 8, 9 and 10 from Act I and question 1 from Act II.

Ok ... just remember .... caaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllmmmmmm dooooooowwwwnnnnnnnn .....

Monday Dec 3

Cesario ... I mean Viola ... I mean Cesario ...

Well, we got in to a good chunk of Act One today.

We took up homework on

Well, I think I'll have to do something cool for quesiton 1 tomorrow. If I live through this sore throat. I had to nominate a "teacher laugh" student today, as my laugh would have sunk my teaching for the rest of the day.

The deisgnated laugher in the class got better as we went along through I, iii and I, iv in my humble opinion.

We did also see the first meeting between Duke Orsino and Viola/Cesario in this film too:
