Focus: What's resolved by the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and what is left unresolved?

1. Warming up with a scoreboard check

• What conflicts were set up in Acts 1 and 2?

• In Acts 3 and 4, who won each one?

• How was each one won?

2. Finishing the film version of MSND and slowing down on a little metacognition from Act 5

3. Enjoying some lively mental jousting
