Hello! Progress reports were sent out today. If you have any missing work, you must make it up before the quarter ends. Here is our plan for the next two weeks:
7th: Last week we went over the basic elements of drama and Freytag's pyramid of the five act play. We are now studying the plays of William Shakespeare. We will go over plot summaries of The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello. Then we will read The Taming of the Shrew as a class. Take all your notes, as we will have a final exam on the life and major works of Shakespeare.
8th: We are now reading Animal Farm, by George Orwell. We will complete the novel in the next two weeks and then begin discussing the role of symbolism and The Russian Revolution. Finally, we will observe the 1954 film version of Animal Farm in class.
Mrs. Rubasch
