2: We finished up our participation of 1.3-1.5 as Lear made his move to daughter number two, Reagan. We shall see how he fares with his middle daughter and her husband. Then, we began our new round of multiple choice passages, which will be for a grade. Using "Bright Star" by Keats, we first had 3 of you go to the board and analyze it in five minutes. K, S, and A did a fantastic job as once you received the multiple choice questions, you noted several of them already delineated in the close read. If absent, you will need to complete this assignment for a grade.
Last, and definitely not least, you received the blogging assignment. (Absentees, I will be e-mailing you the assignment and a few details after I finish this blog.) For your character, you will create a blog that is not summary-based but character-oriented, fleshing out the character, the psychology, and related connections. (I still like my idea of hermit crab idolization by the Fool and Kent checking out different disguises.) We will work on the creation of the blog during class on Thursday, but you are more than welcome to start in advance.
4: We used the close reading of Edmund's "bastard" soliloquy to look at his characterization, societal perspective, and poetic devices. Then, we wrapped up 1.2 by looking at Gloucester and his exclamatory reflections of filial betrayal, Edmund's affection for his mark, or his brother Edgar, and a final rhyming couplet indicating Edmund's determined stance on destroying his family. At the end of class, you prepped two pages for analysis. We made it through four of these pages, so the remainder will occur during Thursday's class. Then, we will be back to multiple choice and the blogging assignment.
