Tuesday: Music & Props

Friday: * MIDTERM *
WEEK 3: Reading
Monday: summary/reaction of an article on the play due at 9:00 a.m. See Bibliography
for list of appropriate articles.
Tuesday: record a scene with others; due at 5:00 p.m. Each actor should choose a scene of 50-70 lines to record with at least one other who is not in the scene. If the scene has more than two actors, try to divide the parts evenly between actors and non-actors. No one who is not acting should have to do a scene without an actor in the mix. Record the scene in both Latin and English, based on the lines that you have chosen in Latin or in English.
This exercise is designed to help you become more comfortable with reading Latin expressively and accurately. Have fun with it. Try to capture the meaning, sound effects, and humor through your phrasing and intonation. Before recording, practice with the other people you have invited to present the scene. Then record it convincingly with feeling and accuracy. Please make the recording in CAN-8 (Day 12) by using the same mike/headset for everyone. Before presenting the scene, be sure to name the people and their parts and identify the line number at which the scene begins and ends.
Thursday: Paragraph about one character due at 9:00 a.m. Write one paragraph (5-6 sentences) about one character in the play we have seen so far. How does this character act? What does this character feel or think about the others? What does this character want or hope to do (motivation)? Why does s/he act/feel/think this way? Please try to use a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures (e.g., participles, subordinate clauses, indirect speech) as a review. It is perfectly acceptable to use Plautus' language in Asinaria and adapt what he wrote.
WEEK 4: Performances
Monday at 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday at 11:45 a.m.: *Performances*
