A Few Barbs for the Bard!

Now that we have a few insults behind us...maybe we can get into the spirit of Act I, scene i, which starts out with a few macho guys swaggering around town, bragging about how tough they are. Good set up for a fight, huh? We'll read through the Prologue (which you have already figured out tonight) and start into the first scene. Don't forget to bring your books, your portfolios, and your study guide questions which we will fill out as we go. It's a good reference, so hang onto it.
Some of the puns in scene i are difficult to understand because of the time period and the evolution of the meaning of the words. By the way, soccer dude in second hour links us to a very cool site on archaic words. Check it out! Here's a link to his post.
Since tomorrow is a 90 minute class period, we'll read for the first part of class and reserve the second half for blogging. Your final drafts of your papers are due to turn in on Monday, along with the first two drafts, your conference notes, and your letter of reflection.
