The Challenge
· Find THREE Shakespearean allusions by the end of our unit on Romeo and Juliet. That will likely be by the end of March or so. But you never know
The Criteria
· Each allusion should be a clear reference to Shakespeare or something from Shakespeare, but cannot be a version of one of the plays. For example, West Side Story is an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, thus counts as an allusion, but the Leonardo DiCaprio/Claire Danes version of R & J does not; it is merely the play itself cloaked in modernity.
· You cannot bring in the exact same allusion as anyone else in class. First come, first serve (so I recommend finding heaps of them in case you need a back-up). If you find more than the required three, consider donating your extras to a needy classmate. Thats allowed.
· In order to get credit, you must bring in whatever it is you find (e.g. a copy of the film West Side Story) PLUS evidence of its being an allusion. That means finding the line or character from the specific play
. Remember how I mentioned Robert Frosts poem Out, Out? Well, if you were using that one (which you cant now because I gave it to you), you would ALSO have to bring in the speech from Macbeth where that line originates:
Out, out, brief candle/Lifes but a walking shadow; a poor player/That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
· You will indeed find a plethora of allusions. Start bringing them in as soon as you find them, and be prepared to share with the class.
The Caution
· You MUST verify that what you find is really from Shakespeare. I am not very forgiving of pages simply run off from the internet; theyre often full of holes and/or errors. Treat this like bona fide research. Have fun with it.
The Catch
· Each allusion you bring in and properly cite is worth a mini-quiz grade. Thats three easy As for you. But if you dont make it by the deadline
.....i have 2 already and ive been desperately trying to find 2 more so i can get extra credit but it cant be one someone alread has so its hard....ive been watching johnny depp movies over and over and there is seriously nothing
