TODAY IN CLASS
We briefly talked about the staging and content of the types of medieval drama that led directly into the sudden outpouring of more complex, artistically diverse drama during the Renaissance. Those definitions on the worksheet for mystery/miracle plays and for morality plays are part of your expected knowledge, even though they were not directly in the book. But sure to CHECK the book if you left the answers blank concerning interludes as well what Elizabethan playwrights learned from the revival of Latin and Greek dramas. (I am mentioning this only because so many people left these blank.)
But MOSTLY in class--we went over the worksheet from yesterday. These were not handed in; I considered it practice, and the importance was in you yourself understanding how much you "got" out of the text compared to what we discussed in class. You will be handing in similar sheets though, and I will occasionally give you short passages to do something with during class. There are brief elements in each class that we didn't get to (they differ)--I'll even out all inequities after tomorrow's quiz, and then we'll move on.
FOR TOMORROW
Study for the quiz; your guided notes should help, but if you don't have them, review pp. 292-305 directly. Also, be sure that you've looked at a couple of the Richard III links from the post earlier in the week.
Be sure to have your Hamlet text with you in class, tomorrow and every day until we are done.
