Extra Credit work:  Poetic Scavenger Hunt

If you are unsure how to do these things or unfamiliar with the terms, look them up online or ask Matt.

1. Write a limerick about Ospreys.

1. Memorize these four Shakespearean lines and recite to Matt.  Be able to explain what these lines are describing.

“The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,

Chequ’ring the eastern clouds with streaks of light,

And fleckled darkness like a drunkard reels,

From forth day’s path and Titan’s fiery wheels.”

-Friar Laurence, the priest from “Romeo and Juliet”

1. Look up a list of Shakespearean insults, and have an “insult-off” contest with another student.  Three insults each, exchanged tit-for-tat, like a ‘dance-off’. 

4.  Make Matt laugh out loud.

Find a group of one or two other countries that you agree with in perspective on the issue.   BEFORE YOU BEGIN...

--Make a copy of the docket for your own editing as an individual.  

--Rename the document "Your name--Docket".

Watch Matt do this process on the projector so you understand how to do it. Then, while discussing with your small group...

• Highlight the most powerful preambulatory phrase
• Put a + by all operative phrases you agree with
• Put a – by all operative phrases you disagree with
• Put a 0 by any operative phrases you are mixed on
• In one sentence, summarize the basic idea of the operative phrases at the top of each resolution
• Write one possible amendment at the end of the resolution that would allow you to vote for it.
• Using the Resolution Chart, circle the issues that you disagree with (ROR, Settlements, Jerusalem, etc).

Ranking and Discussion

• Rank the resolutions from most to least favorite as a group.
• Code the resolutions
• Support - If you could support a resolution, write "support"at the very top of it.
• Live with - If you could live with a resolution, write "live with" on it.
• Amend - If you could live with it after you amend it, write "amend"

Dislike - If there is no way you will ever agree to this resolution, even with amendments, write dislike
