Twelfth Night

Today we watched a section of Twelfth Night, with Helen Hunt as Viola and Kyra Sedgewick as Olivia. It was pretty odd. Helen Hunt was not a very good Viola. I have ever seen a lot of better Viola's grace the stage - no offense. I am currently working on paraphrasing the scenes from the show and adding some direction to them. I think that it is fun but that's just me. Later!

This week

We started Twelfth Night this week, which is legit because I love shakespeare and Twelfth Night. I have seen the show many times so basically it is all kind of review for me, although I do hope that we watch the film version (I believe it was a BBC version) because it's super good. Anyways, I really like Shakespeare and I hope that people in my class are enjoying it as well.

Emma at the Globe and other fun stuff!

We went to see Jane Austen's Emma: a Musical Comedy at the Old Globe. It was legit. I really enjoyed how much fun the actors seemed to have with us as an audience. I really enjoyed the fervor of their performance, and the music was great. We tied it in to our romantic comedy unit and what the implications of the play were. I really enjoyed the story, and how Jane Austen came to life through their performance. Usually, I would find Jane Austen pieces innately boring and outdated, but this play was classic. I liked it a lot.

Feb 4

Hey everyone. I'm updating with another blog post. Next week we are going to go see Emma at the Old Globe. I'm really excited to see it, being that I love theatre. We are also having another field trip, and next week is spirit week. It should be pretty intense. In english, we're just learning about romantic comedy, and I believe we are starting to read a Shakespeare play soon. It should be pretty sweet.
