*Group reading of Bottom's Dream passage to understand how to do a close reading, by focusing on...
What? will identify WHAT choice Shakespeare has made (for example, how Bottom uses mixed-up metaphors to describe his dream)
Why? Shakespeare has made this choice (for example, Shakespeare does this both to illuminate Bottom's excitable character but also his ability to be both humorous and profound in a poorly educated by insightful way).
So What? You advance an argument that states how Shakespeare's choice helps us understand the character or the play more deeply (for example, it helps us see Bottom both as more intelligent than the nobles, in many ways, but also reveals his common and confused nature).
Begin your close reading and reflection on one of the two passages given in class (Romeo and Juliet's sonnet, or Theseus' speech at the end of the play)
During worktime, audition for your part in the play.
