Objectives: 19 February

Today in class, we:
  1. Discussed helpful strategies for reading Shakespeare. Remember that I know this will be a challenge for you, but I am here to serve as your guide. You may always ask me questions and consult my study guide for additional support. For now, though, No Fear Shakespeare and other side-by-side translations are off-limits.

    3. in medias res=in the middle of things
    4. proper citation for a play is (Act.scene.line) as in (I.i.5-6)
    5. anaphora=repeated beginning sounds of words (3rd period only)
