Act 4 and beyond

Today we began by sharing our notes from Act 3 and our homework analysis of Antony's funeral oration. Then we discussed how to organize our own persuasive speeches so that they too will have logos, pathos and ethos. A rough draft of the persuasive speech is due Wednesday, January 17th.

We also were assigned reading Act 4 as homework over the weekend and there is a worksheet to complete on it (and another worksheet as extra credit).

Finally, we had a preview for tomorrow's activity: we'll meet in the computer lab to research how Shakespeare used Plutarch as a source in his writing. Tonight everyone should begin reading over the instructions for the activity (found at www.cjgilbert.net/ase/jc/plutarch.htm) and then login to www.nicenet.org to get familiar with it.

I don't want all of the internet to know how to get in to our nicenet discussion, so I'm going to give you most of the key with only one letter removed:
7Z79995*27

Where * is, instead use the first letter for the name of the play we read right before Julius Caesar.
