  1. Introduction to Shrew

  2. Bellwork: Questions to Answer: • What do you know about Shakespeare? • What have you read by Shakespeare? Was it easy or difficult? Why? • Why do so many people find Shakespeare difficult? • Why do you think he is so well respected that his plays are on every high school reading list? And most universities offer several courses just on his works? • What is the difference between tragedy and comedy? • What is a universal story?

  3. Homework Assignment: (due Tuesday- April 17 ) • In a minimum of one page, answer the following journal questions. • What are your views on love and marriage? • How do you view the roles of women and men in love relationships? • Who should ask whom to get married? • Out on a date? • Is love necessary for marriage? • Be prepared to turn this in on Friday when we all return back to class. First test grade of the second nine weeks.

  4. Layout for this unit: • Notebook: You will be keeping a notebook for this particular unit. In this notebook, you will be writing assigned journals, completing handouts, and completing quizzes over each act. This notebook is a project grade and will be graded on creativity, accuracy, and overall appearance. This will be turned in on 4/25 which will also be the day of your test for this play. You will be allowed to use your notebook on your test.

  5. Project Scenes • You will also be “acting out” a scene from the play in a group. This scene will have a script and costumes will be needed. I will be giving you a list of scenes to choose from (momentarily) and you will be able to pick your groups. There can only be four to a group and if there is a need for “extras” you can pull from other groups for that purpose. This scene can either be acted out in class or you can create a movie for it. The language can be modern, but the script must stay true to the scene in the play.

  6. “Act It Out” Project Scenes: Due date- 4/25 • Introduction to Kate: Act I, sc. 1 lines 46-105 • Introduction to Petruchio: Act I, sc. 2 lines 1-140 • Act 2, sc. 1, lines 1-40 (Kate & Bianca) • Act 2, sc. 1, lines 181-280 (Kate & Petruchio) • Act 3, sc. 2 • Act 4, sc. 1 • Act 4, sc. 3 • Act 4, sc. 5 • Act 5, sc. 2 • If you choose another scene, check with me first for approval.
