  • If you were commissioned to design and direct a production of Twelfth Night, where would you set it? What would your Illyria look like? What would be your take on each character? What costumes, music, and special effects would you want?

 

  • How would you get each character off the stage in 5.1? Think about where they are going and how they feel. Do they stop and shake hands with other characters? Do they slink off or run off? This will be the last time the audience sees them. What impressions do you want to leave?

  1. Look carefully at Antonio’s speech in 3.4.316-321.
  2. Paraphrase it (put into your own words).
  3. Comment on it.
  4. Give some of your own examples of what he is talking about. Use experiences you’ve had, seen, or heard about.

Your next blog post in response to Twelfth Night is going to be an interesting one.  It’s visual and could even be artistic if you want. Here goes:

Draw a diagram or chart that shows the characters and their relationships to each other. 

Ways you can do this and then post on your blog:

  • draw it, then take a photo of it and post it on your blog
  • draw it, then scan it and post it on your blog
  • use Inspiration to create this diagram / chart, then take a screen shot of the diagram and post it on your blog
  • find another piece of software that will allow you to do this… this is your challenge if you are a risk-taker! :)  Ideas:
    • Try out Gliffy.com, an online diagram tool
    • J-Painter might also suit your needs
    • Want something more advanced for drawing? Try Project Draw.
    • Several mind-mapping tools are also available and SUPER easy:
A few other notes:
  1. Please remember to TAG your post appropriately.
  2. It is blog courtesy to link back here (yes, here) and to link to which tool you are using
  3. Links in general are blog courtesy. Few people like to read a blog that doesn’t link to others. Think of it as blog-social referencing: tell people where you got your stuff from, and they will link back to you!
I am looking forward to reading / viewing these!
