Read the scene attached to your character and create a 6-8 frame story board of the scene identifying the main actions. You must have the lines from the play under the frame and under those lines, you must translate into modern English. This needs to be colorful or creative.
Trinculo, Stephano, Caliban- Act 3 sc 2
Sebastian, Gonzalo, Antonio- Act 3, sc 3
Look to answer these questions while reading:
1. What is happening?
2. What is humorous?
3. Who has power? Why?
4. Who is evil? good?

ReplyDeleteI have a question:
ReplyDeleteDo we just read the specfic Act from our character or do more?
Do we also answer these questions on the blog also?
ReplyDeleteDanny, I think all we can answer the questions on paper and if you want to, you may post on the blog.
ReplyDeleteSo we have to draw pictures/illustrate in the frames?
ReplyDeleteI would say that you can read each section but focus on your specific section.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that we have to answer and write the questions, I think we just have to look for the answers as we read and make sure that we know them.
ReplyDeleteIt would be good to write down the answers to not forget.
ReplyDeleteHey guys! So it was suggested that I should put my idea on the blog, and I shall!
ReplyDeleteFor my classmates, thanks for all the awesome commentry on my acting, haha. Want to know how I got my acting skills and awesome script?
Thanks to Matt's "No Fear Shakespeare" comment, I was able to break down the scene I needed (thanks by the way!). The only problem was that I couldn't quite act it out the way it was, and the singing part made me wonder, "what was the song like?"
My trick into reading The Tempest is revealed! As we know, this is a play. So since this is a play, this would be acted, yes?
I YouTube'd "The Tempest Scene _ Act _" and got the perfect visual and listened to the voices that the actors used. Not only that, but I also had a lot of help with reading the book while watching the video.
Don't think you're not going to read the book, no, you should. Read the book first before you watch the visual (or what I do, read while the actors perform). After reading, watch the visual if you need extra help.
That's my technique in decoding The Tempest. I hope this helps some who are stuck!
Also, I hope you guys enjoyed my lovely singing!
ReplyDeleteShelly, that is what i been doing the whole time to help me understand the book. :)
ReplyDeleteCan we do a page per frame? I want to do a page per frame to display more of the scene and what is going on. I feel like small boxes wouldn't portray as much as i would like to.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't understand the lines part. Are we supposed to choose a line (or lines) that portrays our picture?
Thanks to anyone that helps!

Remember when we were reading Frankenstein? Remember how in one assignment, we had to create a storyboard of about 5 frames portraying a chapter? This is pretty much the same thing. Whatever format you used to create the Frankenstein storyboard, you should use to create The Tempest storyboard.
And yes, when searching for lines, search for lines that compliment your image.

ReplyDeleteI'm confused as to what a 6-8 frame story board is, is it similar to a comic?
ReplyDeleteHi All-
ReplyDeleteNice comments, Everyone! You do it exactly like Matt said- just like with Frankenstein. And, no, you don't read the whole Act, just your character's scene...either 2 or 3. Identify 6-8 major points, find lines that sum up each part and then translate into modern English. Draw or clip art the visual. See you tomorrow!
Do we answer the questions on the blog or on paper?
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be in color?
Jafaar:
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that it is optional to answer the questions, as ms. Karvunis did not say it was mandatory. However, it would be a good idea to get them done. As well, it is optional for it to be in color, as Ms. Karvunis said it needed to be colorful OR creative.
Are we able to put the lines in comic book form like the person is speaking?
ReplyDeletethanks ms. karvunis. i was wondering what we had to do.
ReplyDeleteJaafar-
ReplyDeleteAre we able to put the lines in comic book form like the person is speaking?
I suppose you can put them in comic book form, but I think it's best to just put them under the frame and translate it. Maybe you can make the characters say something else that is related to that section instead.
On the captions, are we suppose put the line down and translate it in the box as well?
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late with this, but do we actually have to answer the questions to hand in,or do we just have to look for them as we read?
ReplyDeleteMatt it does say to
ReplyDelete"Look to answer these questions while reading"
So make sure you do them.
There is school tomorrow! yay.... xD

Shelly, thanks for posting your ideas on blogs. It really helped me in understanding the scene. I checked Youtube and saw what you meant.
ReplyDeleteDo we answer the 4 questions on the blog, or do we answer it in our heads?
You guys are right!
ReplyDeleteReading the book and listening to it at the same time helps a lot.
