Explorations in British Literature
Great job analyzing the resolutions of plot and characters from Twelfth Night!! We will finish the study guide next week in class and act out a few of the funny scenes. 🙂 We will also review the entire play in preparation for the test and do a review game if time permits. In your British literature notebook, complete pages 51-54, which includes an excerpt and a few questions. This will be really easy since you are familiar with the entire play. Also, do pages 59 and 60 about Shakespeare’s life and the Globe Theater.
The following video will give you the basic details of Shakespeare’s life that you will need to know.
