Assignments
Each of these assignments is a group gradebe responsible, because if you forget or choose not to complete something, your whole group will be responsible. As a group, you will also be evaluating each other at the end of the project.
1) Study questions (quiz grade): Due April 10th Your group will be responsible for creating ten (10) study questions for your act. No more than three of your questions can be factual recall. At least 7 must be deep thought questions. Factual Recall: In act three, who says the play should be written in eight and eight? Deep thought question: Why do you think Shakespeare chose to have Titania fall in love with Bottom?

These questions must be typed and submitted in hard copy or by email to Ms. Salter. Please format them like a worksheet (numbered and neatly arranged so that I can copy the page for your classmates). 2) Vocabulary (Quiz grade): Due April 16th Your group needs to find 5-10 new, challenging words in your Act. These can be literary terms (ex: prologue, meter) or words used in the play (ex: haste, primrose). You must define them and list the page on which they appear. These questions must be typed and submitted in hard copy or by email to Ms. Salter. Video (TEST GRADE): Due April 16th Your group must record your assigned act for the class to watch. This video can be recorded stage play style (You perform the lines on one stage and film it) or movie style (multiple scenes in multiple locations, videos edited together. This will require someone in your group to edit the video on an ipad or computer. If no one can do so, just record stage play style). Your video must Cover the entirety of your act Involve every group member in a substantial role (even if parts are split) Be filmed in costume Be clear and easy to understand (make sure we can hear you!) Daily Reports (Daily grade): Each day, your group will be responsible for completing a report of what you accomplished that day. I will combine this with my own observations to give you a daily grade. No work completed will result in a zero.

Assignments must be printed or submitted digitally (see below) by the beginning of class unless otherwise specified.
