AP English Literature Period 1

1. Finish your speech acts section for your act/scene from King Lear. Do not forget to answer the questions (this is due even if you didn't have to do any translating) : Who does the most talking? To whom do they talk? How do they talk: Command? Advise? Argue? Incite? Agree? Confer? Object? How does their speech move/progress the plot? 2. Using the Big Open Mind: Select Any character in King Lear. Find and copy five representative quotes, or even snippets of quotes that the character says which are interesting or engaging or character revealing. Describe the character with five adjectives. Draw five images/symbols that correspond to the character's disposition. 3. Using the half mind (divided head) select one character from Lear and one character from a Biblical story that you see a connection between or an important contrast. Describe the Lear character with three adjectives; the biblical character with three adjectives. Pick one important quote from each. Draw one image that may reflect each. For each of the Open Mind Assignments, please use thoughtful color, markers, colored pencils, or other ways to artistically enhance your work. Be prepared to share one of the two with the class.
