Power Dynamics: November 14, 2019

Focus: What power dynamics are established in the first scene of MSND?

1. Warming up with a little discussion of yesterday's notes and Shakespearean conjugation

2. Creating a living picture of 1.1 and reading the scene together in an actor's circle

3. Getting acquainted with the tragic tale of Pyramus and Thisbe
  • Why the play within a play? In other words, what parallels can you find between this myth and A Midsummer Night's Dream?

HW:
1. If you are absent today, please read Act 1, Scene 1 carefully on your own.

2. For TOMORROW: Bring to class the poem you have chosen for your project/paper, along with a charged laptop, for a metacognitive writing.

3. Please turn in your school copies of East of Eden.
