Mrs. Hopkins is absent today. Keely is sick. Oh no!
Please find all instructions for today here on the website. This might be a little bit difficult today since we need to finish reading Julius Caesar. We are on Act V, and are used to listening to the audiobook (which we may or may not have access to today). Please begin class with our daily writing. Our prompt is below. You will only be writing for SIX MINUTES today. Here is a link to the handy online timer Mrs. Hopkins uses: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/countdown-timer/ After writing time is over, please quickly grab textbooks and turn to Act V. There are five scenes, but they are all very short. There are two handouts in yellow folders on Mrs. Hopkins’ side desk. They should be clearly labeled “Act 5, scenes 1-3” (It is titled “Preparing for Battle”), and “Act 5, scenes 4 & 5” (titled “The closing Scenes of Julius Caesar/The Tragic Hero of Julius Caesar). Please get these passed out to everyone. (NOTE: please keep your handouts from Friday.) Normally we would listen to the audiobook on Mrs. Hopkins’ computer. This isn’t possible today, so we are going to listen to an online version, which, unfortunately, features actors we are unfamiliar with. This is the link for the audio of Act 5 (total time is 23:19): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-pmk73fDbQ Before you read, here are short summaries of the five scenes:
Please listen to the audio/read along in the textbook. It should go quickly. Try to work on the handouts as you read. If you are unable to finish during reading time, there should be plenty of time afterward for you to work in class. Please be respectful to whomever is with you today, and work quietly and diligently. Handouts will become homework if you do not finish them today. (I’m sorry, I don’t have access to the digital versions at home, so if you are absent today, please check in with me about getting these.) I will be checking email periodically from home today, so if you have questions, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME! I hope to be back tomorrow.
