We’ll be jumping into the world of William Shakespeare next week, so how about a bit of an introduction. Shakespeare can be a bit hard to get into, so a bit of understanding of him and his work might help.

1) Watch the video Intro_to_Shakespeare.mp4. It is in the Robson 213 Files folder, or can be DOWNLOADED (don’t view it on the site, download it to your computer and open it in Quick Time Player) here: http://goo.gl/jzgRce

2) Complete the handout. If you need the form later, it is here: ShakespeareIntro

Please complete the following questions after reading chapter 1: Chapter 1

There are a lot of phrases used in the book that you might not be familiar with, because we are from a very different place and time. Here is an example from chapter 1: Of Mice and Men Idioms1 You will be looking for and trying to explain some of these later on for other chapters.

If you get the first set of questions done, please start on the extended set: OMAM_chpt_01_Extension
