  4. Literary Terms A drama is a play written for stage, radio, film, or television, usually about a serious topic or situation. A sonnet is a 14-line lyric poem, usually written in iambic pentameter. A tragedy is dramatic play that tells the story of a character, usually of a noble class, who meets a ultimately and unhappy death or downfall, often because of a specific character flaw or twist of fate.

  8. Penta means five • So iambic pentameter means five feet or five pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables • Example— “A horse! A horse! My king dom fora horse!” William Shakespeare Richard III Iambic Pentameter

  9. And now for the prologue... • What is the purpose of the prologue? • Comes from greek word Prologos. This literally translates to “before the speech” or “before the play” • A Shakespearean sonnet has 14 lines of verse in iambic pentameter with ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme • It tells the audience what is to come, provides the tone, etc.

  10. Reading the Prologue (pg. 1037) In your journal… • Write the lines that are confusing or bring up questions. • Write the lines that are interesting or reinforce what you already know. • Write the lines that are surprising or help you make predictions.

  11. Paraphrase Rewrite the prologue in more modern words. Write it the way it would sound in a play today! Yes, you will paraphrase ALL 14 lines!

  12. Identify the words or lines of the prologue that have to do with love. Identify the lines/words that have to do with hate. • What is the main purpose of the prologue? • How does the structure of the prologue reflect the play’s central theme? • Examine the masks, which are a common graphic representation of drama. What do the two masks represent? • List words that you associate with the term tragedy. Add a few key words from the prologue. Prologue Questions

  16. Skim and scan the text of the excerpt from Scene 1 and diffuse some of Shakespeare's unfamiliar language using the following translation table.

  17. Reading the Excerpt • Draw a star next to any questions the characters ask • Circle unknown words and phrases. Try to the determine the meaning of the words by using context clues, word parts, or a dictionary. • Underline words that imply a character is mad or angry.

  18. Close Reading: Scene 1 Questions • Why does Benvolio fight Tybalt at the end of this scene? • What does this scene suggest about masculinity? • How does this opening scene help set the stage for the play?

  19. Vocabulary Vocal delivery refers to the way a performer on stage expresses the meaning of a text through volume, pitch, rate or speed of speech, pauses, pronunciation, and articulation. Visual Delivery refers to the way a performer on stage interprets plot, character, and conflict through movement, gestures, and facial expressions.

  20. In groups of 5 complete the following… • Paraphrase the excerpt • Indicate appropriate vocal delivery by annotating the text with tone cues. • As you read the excerpt, as a group visualize how this scene would look on stage. When, where, and how would the actors use movement and gestures to communicate meaning to the audience? Add annotations to the text to indicate appropriate visual delivery for each character. • Assign roles of Samson, Gregort, Abraham, Benvolio, and Tybalt. • Work with your group to rehearse a performance in which you use vocal and visual delivery to communicate meaning. • Present to another group…. Group Activity(6th hour only completed steps 1-3.

  21. Exit Ticket Rate your comfort level with reading and performing Shakespeare on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). Explain your rating. What are your strengths and challenges?

  22. Complete on the back of the excerpt… How would you stage Scene 1 Act 1? Include details about visual and vocal delivery. Explain why you think your staging ideas would be effective.

  24. Talking by Myself... A monologue is a dramatic speech delivered by a single character in a play. • Skim and scan Act 1 of R&J looking for examples of monologues. • Choose one of the monologues and describe a modern-day situation in which someone might give a similarly long speech.

  25. Making inferences In Act I, Scene III Lady Capulet has a monologue in which she uses figurative language to describe Paris in a way that she thinks will appeal to juliet. Read the monologue and make inferences about why Lady Capulet favors the match.

  26. SIFT Strategy Choose another monologue from Act 1. Define each element of the SIFT and complete the graphic organizer (hand out) by citing textual evidence and making inferences.

  27. Exit Ticket • What purpose do monologues serve? • Explain how you would use visual and vocal delivery in your monologue to communicate character, tone, and/or theme to the audience. Be sure to: • Use a topic sentence that addresses the prompt. • Provide which monologue you’re writing about and provide a brief summary. • Cite textual evidence with commentary to support your analysis.
