English 9 Class Notes

Objectives: Freshmen identified and explained plot, character, setting, and figurative language in a drama.

Freshmen, we reviewed the first act of our drama today, compared the characters of Benvolio and Tybalt (and I included some ribald information about the latter’s name), and I quizzed you. Instead of reading and listening as we began the second act, we tried watching and reading: We watch the teleplay production while you read along and I stopped frequently to check your understanding and help clarify the action. We only got to the end of the second scene, but taking our time was worth it, I think, to comprehend perhaps the most famous scene in Western drama.

No homework. Have a fine weekend.
