1. Welcome! October 24th, 2017 Tuesday
Do Now
Get out your weekly Bell Ringer sheet and begin working on Tuesday’s assignment. Once the bell rings, you will have five minutes to guess the meaning of the word. Make sure you explain your thinking!
Remember: Do Now's are INDEPENDENT and QUIET exercises. Thank you 

2. Read the following sentence and guess the meaning of the word subjugate based on the context.
The substitute teacher found it a challenge to subjugate a classroom full of twenty-five rowdy students.
To subjugate is to bring something or someone under domination or control, especially by conquest.

3. Understanding Tone
It’s not just what you say,
it’s how you say it.

4. What is this? O

5. Right! It can be all those things. It’s also an actual word!
Expressing (according to intonation) surprise, frustration, discomfort, longing, disappointment, sorrow, relief, hesitation, etc.
Used mainly in imperative or exclamatory sentences or phrases, as in: “O take me back again!”
“O for another glimpse of it!”
“O the pity of it!”
“O dear!”
The Oxford English Dictionary

6. Subtext
An underlying and often distinct theme in a piece of writing or conversation

7. Ex. of subtext:
At your lunch table today, your buddy has three chocolate cookies. You say, “Are you going to eat all of those?” What’s the subtext here? What are you really asking?

8. A particular quality, pitch, modulation, or inflection of the voice expressing or indicating affirmation, interrogation, hesitation, decision, or some feeling or emotion; vocal expression.
The Oxford English Dictionary

surprised

11. angry

12. awe

13. suspicious

14. excited

15. sad

16. exhausted

18. Good job! Now stress (or emphasis) is also important in determining tone and meaning.

19. Stress
Relative loudness or force of vocal utterance; a greater degree of vocal force characterizing one syllable as compared with other syllables of the word, or one part of a syllable as compared with the rest; stress-accent. Also, superior loudness of voice as a means of emphasizing one or more of the words of a sentence more than the rest.
Oxford English Dictionary

(lusty)

29. O, for a stone-bow, to hit him in the eye!

36. O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
(disappointed)

37. Our play is done!
(relief)

38. Puns!
In addition to tone and stress, there’s one more thing we should talk about before we get started…
Puns: A play on words, usually meant to be funny

39. Pun Contest I entered a local Pun Contest.
I sent in 10 different puns in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in 10 did.

40. I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then, it hit me.

41. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Banana Time
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

43. So while we’re reading today…
Keep an eye out for puns
Try to pay attention to tone and stress – if you’re character’s angry, sound angry! If you’re character’s sad, sound sad! It not only makes the play more interesting; it makes it easier to understand. 

44. CASTING CALL! Things to Know:
Stage Directions (words in italics, enter and exit)
Stage Freeze (We will need to stop fairly often to check for understanding)
Romeo and Juliet is meant to be watched, not read. It’s really much easier to understand what’s happening when you can visualize what characters are doing and who’s on the “stage.”
So, we’re going to act it out!

45. CASTING CALL! Act 1, Scene 1 Parts: Lord Capulet Lady Capulet Sampson
Prince Escalus
Gregory
Romeo
Abram
Lord Montague
Benvolio
Lady Montague
Tybalt

46. Romeo and Juliet: Act 1, Scene 1
For the rest of class, you have three jobs:
Complete the Reading Guide for Act 1, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. Make sure you answer each question in complete sentences and explain your reasoning.
Once you finish your questions, circle your four best answers. So you can get your questions back faster, sometimes (but not every time) I will only grade those four questions.
Continue working on your IXL for the week: D.3
Good luck!
