  There will only be ONE blog this week (no school Friday)!  Halloween should always be FUN!  It is a time when we get to dress up and eat LOTS of candy! Tell me about your BEST/WORST Halloween memory? Explain.

For this blog imagine that you are  EGEUS , Hermia's father! He is the only character to not live  "happily ever after!" If you were Egeus, what would you do next?  How would he handle the Duke's decision?  Hermia's defiance? Explain. (REMEMBER - I want you to write as if you ARE EGEUS)

When the lovers in the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" wake-up they are CONFUSED!   They wonder if they were (hint, hint) dreaming and if what happened is actually real. Does it take much to confuse you?   T ell me about a time you were confused.  How do you overcome the confusion? Explain.  

Thanksgiving Holiday is about giving THANKS and showing GRATITUDE! This year, 2020, has been quite challenging to say the least! However, we should show THANKS and GRATITUDE. What does Thanksgiving mean to you? Your family? What are some things that you are THANKFUL/GRATEFUL for? Explain.

As we continue reading Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" we learn that some of the characters are referred to as animals. Helena even calls herself a "spaniel" dog!  How about you? Think about your personality.  What animal best suits your personality?  If Mr. Katz could change you into an animal, which animal would he change you into? Explain
