The course of true teaching never does run smooth
Day 1 (took a little over an hour)
1. Listened to the first movement of Mendelssohn’s Midsummer
Night’s Dream
2. Worked on next two recitation lines
3. Watched a brief intro clip to play http://blip.tv/enotes/intro-a-midsummer-night-s-dream-1775298
4. Read Act I, Scene 1 (Had to convince Victor to take part—he actually
did a great job—I wonder what he’s going to make me do during his WWII unit).
5. Watched first part of the 1935 version on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P39Fh8JwqPw
There has to be a better way to read Shakespeare other
than read a passage—ask a comprehension question—yell at kid to reread section
for answer.
Definitely need to incorporate an activity with a small
excerpt from play—saw a neat one with sound effects that we might try.
