Waiting for Godot: Part II

This morning please warm up with the following activity (you may work with a partner or alone):

1. Make a column in your notebook/journal of common things. Props or objects.
2. Make a second column of ideas or feelings (ideas might be DEMOCRACY, or TRUTH, or TRANSUBSTANTIATION, or HUMANISM, for example; Feelings are, well, feelings.

Make sure both columns are equal in number. Please wait for further instructions for this exercise.

After our journal writing, please gather in the groups you had last class and continue reading the play: Waiting for Godot. As you read, please examine, discuss, and fill out the reading questions given to you in class. Turn these in by the end of class today.

HOMEWORK: If you did not complete the play, please do so over the weekend. You may find the entire play in video here: Waiting For Godot. Please feel free to watch the staging and how the actors interpret the play. Compare your vision of the play with the production.

REMINDER: Please watch Endgame and post your response to the forum for extra credit (links and material can be found in the previous post).
