Monday

 Today we are going to start your Act 4 projects. 

1st - I want you and your group to read the scene together.

2nd - As a group discuss what happened in the scene and write a summary of the scene.

3rd - Together begin to translate the scenes into contemporary english.

ACT 4 - PROJECTS: 50 PTS - DUE Tuesday 2/22

Each group will be given a scene.  The group will have to translate the entire scene into contemporary English.  The group will have to summarize what happens in the scene for the class and then act out the scene for the class with emotion, blocking, subtext.

Grade:

20 for a full and accurate translation of scene
            --things you could get docked for include: cutting lines or speeches, or characters
               mistranslations (make sure you look closely at the text and look up words you
               do not understand), bad writing: misspelled words, inappropriate words, etc.

10 points for summarization
            --make sure the summarization is loud, clear, and completely discusses everything
               that happens in the scene

20 points for acting
            --make sure all characters in the scene are represented.  make sure the characters
               have blocking (movement) and that their lines have emotion (do not just read
               the lines in a monotone voice whose subtext says “I AM BORED I AM A BORING PERSON I AM VERY BORED BECAUSE I HAVE NO IMAGINATION I AM BORED I SHOULD HAVE NEVER COME TO SCHOOL I SHOULD DROP OUT MR FIELDING IS MEAN I AM BORED”
You will be graded in this category on: 1) character roles  2) blocking/movement  3) subtext/ emotion  4) How accurately the acting depicts the scene
