Melissa: I loved that you had students up on their feet with props yesterday. I think it would be good to have a post (that everyone can edit/add to) with day-to-day Shakespeare activities. How do you check for comprehension? What's a new way of summarizing a scene? Quick intro activities that worked well? Spice things up? etc.
Here's one I just came across:
The Lazy Sonnet
Have students write a 14-word sonnet summarazing an act, where the final couplet rhymes.
This could also be done for a scene. Ask them to focus on character, incident and theme.
For example, Act I, R&J:
Capulet
hates
Montague.
Montague
hates
Capulet.
Families
fight.
Citizens
cheer.
Prince
comes.
Double
trouble.
