10th Grade:
We have started Of Mice and Men, and I would like you to pay attention to allusions that you find in the current day. You will write about those allusions and post them on this website later in the book. Here is a trailer from the most recent movie.
9th Grade:
We have been reading Romeo and Juliet. There are several clips you can access online that will give you a variety of takes on the same scene. Your homework tonight is the character sheet. Obviously you can only detail the characters we have read.
*Remember*
Flat Characters are one dimensional and Shakespeare often uses them as comic relief.
Round Characters are fully developed and the reader gets a broader sense of the character's personality, especially interacting with other characters of the play. Not to be outdone by the 10th Grade, here is a trailer for you as well.
Oh- and the two of them at the fence?.... That is an allusion to Pyramus and Thisbe
