Shakespeare Homework 1/7/13

Let’s take some time to get used to Shakespeare’s Language.

Go to

http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/

Scroll through the 100 quotes, then pick 10 and click on the link.  Read the entire quote, then, on a separate sheet of paper, write the number of the quote, and a brief explanation of what you think it means.

For instance . . .

11. I think this means that the person saying it really needs a horse, and would even give up his kingdom just to get one.

Pick an independent reading book, then . . .

Please answer the following question about your independent reading book. Be sure to follow the paper formatting guidelines we discussed in class.

Week 1 Question: What book did you choose? Why did you choose this book? If someone chose it for you, why did you agree to it? (100 words)

PLEASE BRING YOUR BOOK WITH YOU TO CLASS ON MONDAY!

HW for Tuesday, 12/18

Work on your IRP! It's due Thursday, 12/20!


See detailed project instructions below:
Don't forget to change the directions on your gallery card if your project changes.

Creative Project:

Come up with some way to visually present your book. This will not be presented orally. You will post this in the classroom gallery‐style. Your creative project should include a gallery card –with one typed paragraph that briefly summarizes your book and a second paragraph that gives your project a creative title and explains your projects’ significance to the book. Your gallery card should also include any necessary instructions for the viewer on how to interact with your work.

Some ideas . . .

• a diorama of a particular scene
• if there’s a movie version of your book, choose a short scene to que up; you should also print the exerpt from the book and your gallery card should explain how the two scenes (movie and book) are similar and/or different
• create a website about your book that students can go through on their own
• a power point presentation that students can go through on their own
• a board game that two students could play on their own—directions should be simple and printed out
• if food is important in your book, cook something that’s mentioned and bring that in for everyone to try—make sure it is clear why this is relevant to the content of your book
• draw portraits of the main characters or draw important scenes from the book

These projects should be neat and well‐put together, not something you work on the night before it’s due!
