1. Grammar: punctuate (all one sentence)

• "Now fair Hippolyta our nuptial hour
  Draws on apace four happy days bring in
  Another moon but O methinks how slow
  This old moon wanes" (1.1.1-4)

2. Midsummer Pre-reading Journal Prompt:

• Is there such a thing as true love?  What distinguishes good and true love from infatuation or simple desire?  When is the right time for someone to marry?  How can you distinguish someone you should marry from someone you should not marry?  How much say do you think your family should have in your marriage timing and choice? 

3. Video: Act 1.  Watch from the opening to the point when Bottom the Weaver is reprimanded by his wife (this is not in the actual play, but only in the movie). 

4.  If you finish watching Act I, discuss the journal prompt.

HW: Review Your Essay Sheet.  We will have rewrites on Thursday (those not writing will be creative writing).
