Good Morrow, Scholars! Today, we will gather on Google Meet at NOON to review genre and to discuss the requirements for our final project together. Please set an alarm for yourself so you remember to attend.

In the meantime, during the morning English block (8:30-9:00), please complete the following:
1. 10 minutes of Membean
2. Review the guidelines for the project we will be discussing this afternoon. You may want to reach out to possible project partners to sign up for a scene and genre. The scenes are first come, first serve. However, there can be duplicate genre choices, so you may pick any one you'd like, even if another group has selected the same one.

*The project (script and uploaded Flipgrid video) is due no later than Monday by 9:30 am. Grades are due that afternoon, so there can be no flexibility on this. Feel free to complete the work sooner!

See you at noon!!

With a partner, sign up for a topic in the play you would like to explore. Then, craft a theme statement related to that topic that you can prove is evident in the play.
2. Find 3 direct quotes from the play that support your chosen theme. Each quote will have its own individual slide. (Be sure to cite the Act and scene).
3. Using the template as a guide, include in each slide the required information- the quote, context of the quote, and symbolic images/backgrounds connected to the theme.
The design of the template is intentionally neutral. Spice up the design by using your imagination and creativity!

Happy last full week of school!! We are very close to the finish line. I so appreciate your focus and effort as we finish this unusual year strong!

Today, I will be unavailable for immediate feedback, as I will be cleaning out my classroom at school (aka- crying and eating chocolate because you all are not there, too).

While I will not be available for Meets or quick feedback, I will be following up on your completion of the following assignments, due by 3:15:

1. Finish reading Act V of A Midsummer Night’s Dream using the parallel text.
2. Complete your theme slides, based on the theme topics you signed up for last Thursday. Remember to follow the guidelines in the template slides (attached again to this post for your reference). Please upload to Thursday’s assignment post by 3:15 today.

Thanks again, and I’ll be in touch tomorrow :)
