Today on the index card, take until 8:25 to prepare a quick cheat-sheet for the upcoming test. You may want to include such things as character names, plot elements from the plays, and other details you feel you need to look up from our reading. If you enter class late or you do not check this blog at the beginning of class, you will not have sufficient time to complete this task.
When we take the quiz, you will be able to use YOUR card (not your neighbor's card) to help answer the two questions. This card should be turned in with your test booklet. Please answer the questions in complete sentences, using evidence from the text where appropriate to support your statements. It should be clear to me that you read and understood the play.
After taking the test, please turn in your essay booklet. You may proceed to completing your one-act historical comedy project. This first draft is due by the end of next class (Friday, Oct. 9). In your third scene you will want to reach a climax between your protagonist and antagonist. Your protagonist should either win or lose his/her overall goal and you should conclude the play. Again, your scene should be anywhere from 5-10 pages in script formatting.
HOMEWORK: Please read the rest of the handout "Structure, Part One: Story and Plot". Take notes on important vocabulary or concepts as you read.
