Do You Bite Your Thumb At Us, Sir?

Grade 9's:  Bring your script to class from now until we perform the Shakespeare scenes.  Read the lines out loud, or you will never commit them to memory.  Think of what the characters are saying.  Have a clear idea of what they want in the scene and what obstacles they face.  Make sure your voice rings out loud and clear.  You can't be afraid to speak clearly in Shakespeare.  The language is beautiful and we want to hear each and every word.

I will want to see you walk through the first scene tomorrow.  You may use your script, but if you can try it without the script to see how much you know.  Remember, I'd like you to think of stage business that relates somehow to what you're saying.

DON'T USE AN ENGLISH ACCENT.

Everyone:  Remember, your journals are due today.
