Combo Tues./Wed.

For Tuesday's class, we finished our analysis of Sonnet 116 by looking at the specific words that are stressed and how Shakespeare uses meter to emphasize his thematic points. Then, we completed another practice multiple choice passage.

For Wednesday's class, we finished our practice multiple choice passages (the upcoming ones will be for points and content) and completed a box prompt on Sonnet 138. For the remainder of the class, we learned about psychoanalytical theory and the terminology that we can incorporate into our discussions and writings in the near future.

As an unofficial homework assignment, check out dream symbolism and how this impacts the psyche.

For Friday, bring your witch hats, brooms, black cats, and cauldrons -- it is time to begin Macbeth, or the Scottish play. We will finish psychoanalysis, talk about the background of the play, read the first scene (it's really short, but it does involve the "Weird Sisters," which I nominate Justin, David, and Ben to play), and discuss your text-long motif assignment.
