About the Class

The Advanced Writing class for college bound students of any age uses our SAT and College Prep English book (http://abacus-es.com/sat/). The class takes place in a traditional classroom setting at EIE Academy in Monrovia, CA (eieacademy.com) and is offered by Abacus Educational Services (abacus-es.com/eie). Class agendas and notes are available at:http://www.abacus-es.com/journal/category/class-notes/. This WiZiQ session is simply a broadcast of the classroom session and the teacher cannot take take class time to join in the chat, though teaching assistants may be doing so. Auditors are welcome and, through screen sharing, will be able to follow everything that takes place in class.

Dear Scholars,

Last week's feed had audio only. The screen sharing didn't work.

This week's feed will be here: http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/541776-advanced-writing-and-college-prep-english-may-19-2011

This week:
Let's discuss college, academics, study methods, teachers, inspiration and any other matters involving how to succeed in education. Please post comments and questions.


Having read, heard and studied Much Ado About Nothing, let's discuss it.
Be prepared to identify the characters and their motivations:
Don Pedro
Claudio
Benedick
Don John
Borachio
Conrad
Leonato
Antonio
Hero
Beatrice
Dogberry


Let's play the quote game. Please find at least 10 quotes from the play to present that others in class should identify.

Quotes should be unique but need not be long. For example, who said these: "my lady disdain", "a plain dealing villain", "can one buy such a jewel?", "it is a man's office", "were you in doubt that you asked her?", "but few of any sort and none of name", "bear the toothache patiently"?

Mayhap we shall do a scene or two an that please.


See the Much Ado page. Listen to the audio files because, unfortunately, the video playlist I posted is incomplete -- parts omitted for copyright reasons. It is decidedly the best one however. I think most of it is posted, but must be ferreted out. There are more on youtube. Look for them.

Please watch and read. Think about scenes to do or discuss. Write anything you like about it.
