"That Shakespeare was a typical man of the Renaissance is clear from his zest, his boldness, his humor, his love of beauty, and his incisive faith in that enterprise of living. This appears nowhere more obviously than in the sources of his plays, for these sources were to him records of various things that had happened to men and women under the will and providence of God." - Hardin Craig, An Introduction to Shakespeare
Hello, Our Shakespeare plans are well underway, with each student having received line assignments on Wednesday before the long weekend. Students should be practicing their lines each night to be prepared for in class rehearsals and the big performance on the morning of December 16th. Student involvement in this performance will be a large part of their grade for this quarter, so please arrange travel plans after the end of the school day on the 16th. We will be assembling some simple props to represent each character, therefore, I will be reaching out for some "stagehands" for support in that task. Additional excitement this week includes the in class Spelling Bee on Wednesday, and the Bard Competition on Thursday. All scholars will participate in the Spelling Bee, but only those who have registered to recite a poem in the Bard Competition will be reciting poems for their peers Thursday. Spalding words will be taught on Monday and Wednesday, with a test on Friday. In class time will be given for students to continue working on rough drafts completed in last week, with a focus on comma splice errors. Have a great week! Warm regards, Mrs. Baird 11/30 - Classroom Spelling Bee 12/01 - First Round Bard Competition 12/08 - Winter Concert, 6-7PM 12/16 - Shakespeare Festival
