All the World's a Stage...
We had a great week, enjoying the wonders of American Players Theatre and descriptive writing. On Tuesday we went to Spring Green to see the play, As You Like It. Several of us got sunburned since we were in the sunny section watching the play. The play was funny... especially David Daniels as Touchstone. On Thursday this week we had a visitor, Paul, from APT who led a workshop for us. We performed "tableaus" in which groups performed a "frozen scene that tells a story" for several characters from the play. Everyone has written a paragraph about the figurative language in As You Like It. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players..." We are continuing our work on descriptive writing and figurative language with our "Descriptor Wars" today.

Welcome Back to School!
We've started out the school year with a great first week. In our Enriched English classes we are starting the year with Shakespeare. We will be performing parts of the play As You Like It in class for our classmates. We are also looking at descriptive writing. On Sept. 14 we will be heading to APT for a field trip to see the play.
