After school in room 118 (Ms. Campbell’s room) North Campus

Society

An informal, casual opportunity to appreciate the power of Shakespeare through quality films, theatre, sonnets, games, friendship and treats!

(Meeting days will be decided at our first gathering.)

Bellringer: After high school...discuss the general topic with your partner from yesterday's Queen Elizabeth speech. 

How does that phrase make you feel?  

What do you think about?

How did you approach your writing? 

What genre (e.g., non-fiction story or fictional narrative story, advice column, letter, etc.)? 

Who was your intended audience?

How was the writing experience? Easy, hard, somewhere in the middle? Did you discover anything as you wrote?

Activity 2: Speech at Tillbury

Find another group (on the side of the room opposite where you are working) and quiz them with your questions and vice versa, but first, introduce yourself.

Step 1:  Find a pair or group of other humans across the divide.

Step 2:  Introduce yourself by shaking hands or fist bumping or high-fiving, etc while actually greeting them and saying your name! For example... "Hello, Yoda I am, your acquaintance I am pleased to make...hhhmmm."

Step 3: Alternate asking questions of each other.  Read your questions and answers slowly.  Use encouraging phrases, like "Good job, the force is strong with you" or "Good effort young Jedi, but try again. Succeed you will." 

Step 4: When finished, bow to one another and go back to your seat.

How did it go? Did you get 100%? Did you need a lifeline?
