Midsummer Night's Dream


I also wanted to make sure you had notes for Midsummer Night's Dream.

This play is difficult to decipher the first time around, and even though we will discuss what is going on after we act out each scene, it is important that you understand the plot. Each night I expect you to go to this site and read the scene from that day. If you are feeling especially studious you may read ahead. I expect you to go over each scene in the book for the next day, especially if you have a part in it. Remember this is supposed to be fun. We will be reading and acting out the play together, going over each scene, and doing activities like a character map to understand the story. I just expect you to be prepared to read over your parts every night. We have to go fast because we are limited to 5 more days to finish it.

This is the site I need you to go to in order to review each chapter of the book before you take the A.R test. The last day to take the test will be this Wednesday. I am convinced if you study this site you will do well on the test.
