Library Book Request

Ah Hem,  ah hem, 

(Imagine a nasal, whiny, yet queenly drawl)

"This is the end of the year request for the return of all library materials... or the school will be forced to withhold your report card, and send you to bed without dinner, which will affect your graduation and that will end in the utter anniliation of the entire world as we know it."

(Okay, so no real threat.)

The books that are still out are:  

# 1 Comedy of Errors  
#14 Taming of the Shrew No Fear
#22 Manga Othello
#16 Romeo and Juliet Manga
#25 Thomas Jefferson for Teens

We are also missing movies,

#9V Taming of the Shrew (and something else that I can't remember, but that would require that I run up the stairs and sort through the box again, and that's too much.)

"So each and ever denizen of the town is hereby ordered by the court..."

Anyway,  everyone look in their closets, under beds and in your showers for these and return them back to their naturalized summer hybernation site at the next party?  

Hugs, 

Miss You Everyone,

EXTRINSIC REWARD for MEMORIZED LINES


It SHOWS TRUE LEADERSHIP if we encourage ourselves rather than punish ourselves later.  So, let's run a reward plan rather than a desperation plan at the end.

So Shakespearians,  What can we as mentors do as incentive to encourage all of you to do your best in the next two weeks to memorize all your lines?  

HMMmmmmmmm,   If anyone has an idea, please let me know and we will seriously consider it!   

Let me know,   Sis. D.

COSTUMES

Taming of the Shrew in Medival costumes can be simple for the males actors.  A pair of tighter pants, a large shirt from the father's wardrobe and a vest will be a great beginning.  All of this was procured from household closets without purchasing anything but the leather vest from goodwill for 4 dollars.  The shoes could be slippers with shoelaces, yarn or rope.
