Attention All classes- Please bring in items to put into our prop box. We will spend class time acting out scenes and delivering lines from the play. Elizabethans didn’t focus a lot on scenery in their plays. Their focus was mainly on dialogue and attire. Please bring in old dresses, wigs, and other props to include in our box, so we can bring alive Shakespeare’s words. The majority of the reading will be done in class, until you get used to the language.
Periods 2, 4, 6, and 7
Monday
Class Time:
Our next play will be "Othello", and we will begin reading it in January.
