Consider this the Award Ceremony.

Hi everyone! This post is for those who participated in the dramatic reading today! Once it got started I think it went really well! You all are fabulous Shakespearian actors! It was a rocky start but we figure it out and did what we set out to do!

Skypeing

I want to apologize for not being so connected this week I am sorry for any inconvenience and hope you are all still pumped for this Skype project! I had family in town so I was away from campus and a computer for a few days.

You're Gonna Be A Star!

Below is a list of the characters, their number of lines. Laura I am still waiting to hear from Lindsay to see if she wants to participate, if not Laura I am wondering if you would be able to take Ferdinand's lines as well. I am sorry I should have had this ready for class but here it is now! If there are any concerns voice them and we will see what we can do!

Executive Decision Regarding The Class Skyeping To Do A Dramatic Reading Of Shakespeare

First off I would like to apologize to all of you who are interested in participating in the dramatic reading of a Shakespeare play via Skype. I am sorry for slacking this past week. However, I am back in the game and this is still a go!

To Be or Not To Be Was Never The Question: A Thesis Statement For A Research Blog

As I have said before I discussing in this blog my personal belief that Shakespeare was an optimist. I have already outlined my agenda in my post beginning Whats the Plan Stan, but after listening to class discussion I have come to realize that I did not have a thesis. . . .until now.

Branching away from my usual theme of optimism in Shakespeare I am going to talk about a learning out come for a few minutes. I have yet to complete my creative requirement for this class. So I have established a plan. I would like to arrange a dramatic reading of a scene from one of the plays.

Dr. Burton Is Right: We have a Larger Audience Than We Realize

Contrary to the implications this posts titles I have not sincerely disagreed with Professor Burton since my rant post in January. However, it is nice for people to receive recognition so Dr. Burton here it is! I was fiddling around on my dashboard trying to figure out how to set up a post that would not appear until Sunday at ten when I discovered that there is a way to view how many people have looked at your blog. I hope this doesn't scare anyone outside of the class away because I think it is awesome that there is global interaction!


So, since my blog was created on January it has been viewed . . .
