This is a reminder that you now have the King Lear Diary/Journal assignment and should be working on that activity as we continue forward with our analysis. King Lear, surprisingly, reads fairly quickly - especially since you have noted so much about character speech patterns and behavior. If you were not here and not picking up makeup work, you still need to have a character selection, and you must see me to do so. You cannot just pick the one you want because it may already be taken!
2 & 4: I think the majority of us quite enjoyed our third MC passage, which was quite straightforward in structure, literary elements, and meaning. As long as you keep interacting with the poem via close reading, you should have better opportunities to score well on the questions. In King Lear Act II, you were divided up into groups per scene to super over-analyze the speeches and the text. Remember, you want to take page by page and break down the structure, the psychoanalysis, and the literary elements populating the work. Second hour made it through the first 2 scenes (which we will recap next time) and will continue with the remaining 2 scenes next time. Fourth hour made it through the first scene and will finish the remainder on Wednesday. In both classes, read Act III for next time as well - I'll be in charge of that discussion and focusing on the major speeches and conflicts.
7: We started off class looking at sample diaries/journals from previous years and then selecting your character for the diary. If absent, you will need to see me to select the character - as noted above. Then, we looked over your MC passage 3 and started our look at Act II. Read Act III for Tuesday - we have a block day and should have plenty of time to delve into that act as well.
