Act I Literary Devices and Characterization

I began class today by letting students know about an opportunity available to them next year, early in September, to attend Bard on the Beach - Twelfth Night!! If you are interested in taking part in this field trip, please pick up the appropriate forms from me.  Tickets are first come, first served, and we only have 30!!

We spent the next part of class reviewing the events of Act I scene ii.  This is where Viola talks with the Sea Captain and we learn of the shipwreck she was involved in, the apparent loss of her brother, and her new location (Illyria).  Viola plans to go work for the Duke, as a eunuch.  I'll let Isaac explain what a eunuch is.

Finally, we worked through some of the literary devices present in scenes iii and iv.  I provided a handout meant to point you to some specific devices in these scenes, which we will talk about next day.  Please complete the handout for Wednesday.

A reminder that Zaccheus Jackson is coming to present to us, and work with us, on Monday.  That is going to seriously rock.
