New Seats!
Woooooo...alright back to work.
But even more important than that, classes got their first spoonful of
Romeo and Juliet!
On page 807 of the Lit Book.
Today, classes tackled the Prologue to the play.
And by "tackled", I mean, worked together to translate into Modern English.
Documents You Might Want:
- This is a link to the raw text of the Prologue (this was on my projector screen for gesturing purposes.
- This here is a link to the Translation document (which was classwork)
- You want me to be honest? This is a link to the SparkNotes page for the Prologue. I place it here so that you can check your own translation against a published one. I do not care one bit if you use this site, and ANY of its materials, to help your understanding of Shakespeare's text. Use anything and everything at your disposal to make meaning out of what's going on, but read the original Shakespearean text (anything else you consult should be IN ADDITION TO the real text.)
How did it all go? Pretty darn well, I think. Shout-out to the powerhouse scholars in 7th period who shared their translations with me:
 |
| Student Example #1 |
 |
| Student Example #2 |
Both of these show good solid work, though neither is perfect.
HW:
- Do some Membean. This is Week 2.
- Bring your textbook to class. Every. Day.
Also, I will be absent Weds and Thurs this week, 4/8-4/9. The Wind Ensemble is going to Memphis, and I'm going with them :) See you Friday. The sub will have instructions for you.
