Tuesday, March 10

Read Act 2.  Work on LRJ 1 and 2.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:

• We will finish reading As You Like It this week.  If you want to recite a memorized soliloquy or monologue, make sure you sign up with Ms. Peifer by Friday, March 13th.  We will be presenting them either next Tuesday or Wednesday.  
• Also, continue thinking about your comparative paper.   This is due Friday, March 20th. 
• If you are turning in the extra credit assignment, that is also due Friday, March 20th.  (This is watching a movie version of Macbeth and writing a review of it). 

How far did we read today?

In hour four, we stopped at the end of Act One. 

In hour five, we continued reading and ended on page 71 (Act 2 Scene 6).

As You Like It Journal

Option One: Pick an image pattern that appears in the first act.  For each act, find at least two examples of the image and explain their meaning and the way they are used.  The image could be used to heighten the tension, produce humor, add to characterization, emphasize a theme--there are many possibilities. 

Option Two: Pick one character from the play to follow. You should make one entry for each act.  If your character does not appear in an act,  tell where he or she is and the implications for the play.  For each entry, try to answer the following questions about your character: 

• Who am I?
  
• Where am I?
  
• What do I want?  What is my goal in this act?  How does it apply to my overall goal?
  
• What do I do to get what I want?
  
• What are my relationships with other characters?
  

You may write in first person (become your character) or in third person.  

Each entry should be at least a page long--written in prose and not in note style.
