Monday
Today we will compare and contrast modern oral expressions with those of the Elizabethan period. I will distribute a cooperative assignment with numerous words and expressions of the Elizabethan dialect on the back. tonight you must write a paragraph using at least 25 words from this list.
Tuesday
Today you will begin the cooperative skit assignment with your group members. First, discuss your scenario and come up with a character for each person in your group. Then take the time to individually brainstorm ideas for the basic sequence of events. Remember that you will need to convey these events primarily through dialogue.
Wednesday
Today you will listen to each other's ideas and write a script for your skit. Follow the model I provide for you in class. Remember, each person in in your group must have several lines, and each line must contain at least one Elizabethan word or expression.
Thursday
Rehearse your skits. Make changes and/or props as needed. Be prepared to perform your skit in class tomorrow.
Friday
