Break Assignment: Your character
Use the handout distributed in class (or find it at http://www.folger.edu/documents/ArieltheOccas.pdf) to determine how your character is percieved and written in the play.
Instructions
1. Find all the passages from your character in the book up to Act IV.
2. Use the handout that says "Close Reading" to figure out who your charcter is by what he says and does (words and actions). Fill in the handout with lines and citations. This is called direct characterization.
3. Go to shakespeare.clusty.com. This site has a concordance that groups together all the uses of each word in a piece of literature. Put your character name in the word section. Select The Tempest from the works drop down. Press search.
4. With reference to the whole text now, you should cross check every hit with your book. Who is speaking about your character? What is being said about your character? Which words are used to describe your character? Record these observations on the other side of the handout. These are examples of indirect characterization.
5. As a group on the blog, compare and discuss your notes. How do the direct and indirect characterizations differ? How would you choose to perform your character, based on the results of this project?
1. Complete handouts using your book and the concordance online.
2. Blog your results about your character. Blog Questions: How are indirect and direct characterization different? How would you perform your character?
3. Respond to other blog postings.

Questions for pages 7-17 lines 75
Homework on pupilpath is below until I know you can all access it regularly:
1. Put the characters from pages 7 to page 17 line 75 in order according to their social status (Who is most powerful? Who is least powerful?). There are ten characters who either speak or who are referenced.
2. Explain your reasoning and place the line(s) that support your idea next to or under the character's name on your social hierarchy list.
Example: The mariniers are lowest because Master asks Boatswain to speak to the Mariners and have them try to work the ship out of the storm (Act 1 line 3). OR
The Mariners are the highest since they are the ones who will try to save the ship from the storm (Act 1 line 3)
Blog work:
1. You will post questions you have about Language, Characterization, Plot, Imperialism or Literary Elements. Please label your name and your the type of question.
2. You will give your own answers or answer someone else's question. When you answer someone else's question, put their question before the answer, please.
Language: what the actual words mean
Characterization: anything about the characters
Plot: anything about what is happening that does not have to do language
Imperialism: connections to imperialism (will happen later in the book)
Literary Elements: techniques used by Shakespeare to give a deeper understanding to the plot (figurative language, irony, satire...)
