Today began our galloping cardio work or the physical representation of iambic pentameter. While you can't literally jump and gallop during the AP exam, you can at least use the skills to identify rhythm in the future. We will gallop more later in the week or, in the case of seventh hour, tomorrow!
2 & 4: Sonnet 18 was on center stage today as we identified iambic pentameter and then galloped across the room for each of its 14 lines (3 times each = a minimum of 420 steps). If you would like to see the video is non-purple specific color, here is the link: Teaching Shakespeare Iambic Pentameter. At the end of class, we overviewed the MC portion and will have our first passage tomorrow.
7: While I can't wait to see the galloping antics of this hour, it will have to wait until we make it through our opening Shakespearean diction and translation portion. First, we reviewed all of our poetry terms, then we looked at common phrasing and verb tricks, then we insulted one another, then we worked on a crossword to practice all of the phrasing. I'm typing this during 6th hour, so you may have some translating work to do in the packet for tomorrow.
