We are all in the midst of multiple choice and Shakespeare in class while I am still fired up over the absolutely ridiculous Dancing with the Stars results last evening. I usually save my ire for verbal criticism directed at the television, but since I am supposed to be more "calm," I can at least write down how the great, the marvelous Cheryl Burke and her partner, the smoldering Juan Pablo di Pace, deserve a lot better. Seriously, how can you have a better tango with all the leg wraps: Argentine Tango! Or, to have an actual celebrity partner do Samba rolls - in 2 directions: Samba! I think I shall rant about this for several days or future seasons of the show, which I also did when Gilles Marini did not win! Focusing back on AP Lit, our hours continued forward with our plans of merging multiple choice and Shakespeare.
2 & 4: We completed a MC passage as a class - with this version beginning with the close read, then categorizing the questions, then answering the questions. Both classes scored 9/10 - missing that "except" question. For homework, you have the close reading, the over-analysis of Sonnets 116 & 130. You will be in charge of class tomorrow, so make sure you have the structure, iambic pentameter, and poetic elements ready to go. Plus, we'll have some galloping (stretch before class if needed)!
7: In the Shakespeare world, we Shakespearized versions of famous movie quotes, we looked at Sonnet 18 for its structure and its meaning, its iambic pentameter, and its galloping potential!
