Team up with a partner and analyze Shakespeare's The Tempest. You must work
independently to create annotations defining and explaining unfamiliar words in two
different scenes. Then you will trade scenes, read your partner's annotations, and
write a paragraph explaining how your partner's scene reveals Shakespeare's views
on colonialism or imperialism.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
At least 20 annotations that define words modern readers (including your partner)
are unlikely to know
At least two annotations that explain the history, or etymology, of a word
At least two annotations that explain how to pronounce a word
A paragraph about your partner's scene that analyzes Shakespeare's message
about colonialism or imperialism in The Tempest
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one.
If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.
If you're studying in a solo classroom, you may complete the activity by
choosing a scene and annotating it. Then, write a paragraph analyzing how
your scene shows Shakespeare's views on colonialism or imperialism.
Working in a low-tech environment? If you don't have access to a word
processing program that allows you to cut, paste, and add footnotes to a text,
see your teacher for guidance about how to create your annotations. You can
always write them out by hand on a separate sheet of paper, for example.
