  1. Hello, my friends. For today: • Grammar – Pg. 96 • QuickWrite • Bad Jokes • Puns • Queen Mab and Dreams

  2. Clarity – Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers – Pg. 96 • Modifier: Single words, phrases, or clauses that limit or qualify the meaning of another word or word group. • 12a) Limiting modifiers (only, even, almost, nearly, and just) belong directly in front of the words they modify. • 12b) Place phrases and clauses so that readers can see at a glance what they modify (again, typically right before what they modify). • 12c) Move awkwardly placed modifiers. • Rule: flow from subject to verb to object. • 12d) Avoid split infinitives when they are awkward.

  3. Repairing Dangling Modifiers • Dangling modifiers: a modifier which fails to refer logically to any word in the sentence. • To repair: • 1) Name the actor in the subject sentence, or • 2) name the actor in the modifier.

  4. QuickWrite • Are Romeo’s feelings for Rosaline true love or teenage desire? What makes you think so? What can we infer from this regarding what Romeo thinks about women and love?

  5. Time for some bad jokes… • Without geometry, life is pointless. • What do you do when your wheels wear out? Retire. • I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him $50 that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He refused. “No,” he said, “the steaks are too high.” • A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. • When she told me I was average she was just being mean.

  6. Puns • A pun is a form of wordplay that occurs when two words pronounced and spelled somewhat the same way contain different meanings. • In R&J 1.1: • carry coals: submit to humiliation • colliers: people who work with coal • in choler: angry • collar: hangman’s noose

  7. Puns • In groups, decipher the wordplay in the first 33 lines. What do they mean when they discuss: • “being moved” • stirring and standing • weakness, walls, and women • beheading the maids • Answer the questions: • Who are these people? • Are they related? • What are they like? • How do they feel about each other? • How do you know?

  8. Queen Mab • Ignore 1.a.i, the Rosaline question. • Illustrations: Don’t need to be fancy. • Do need to have at least 5 parts labeled with corresponding line # • Don’t forget the questions that follow. • This will be due next class.

  9. HW • Queen Mab illustration and questions • Introduction letter, signed • Vocab Lesson 19 • Read Act II
