Quiz Tonight/A Note on Essay #1/Henry V screening

Kenneth Branagh as Henry V

Hi, class,

Just a reminder about the scheduled quiz. It will be given at 7:00 pm SHARP and you will have 30 minutes to complete it. As it is an in-class quiz, NO MAKE-UPS are allowed. Please be on time.

Regarding Essay #1, please note that I will not be accepting any late essays after Tuesday, 10/21. 

Also, regarding the grading of these essays, they are worth 15 total points, not 20. I inadvertently gave the wrong breakdown of points. This should be helpful to you. Here is the proper breakdown (which I will also post on our course blog):

Clear thesis statement, well-organized supporting points and conclusion: 8 points

Cited adequately and correctly from the texts (primary and secondary): 3 points

Demonstrated writing strength (sentence structure, spelling, grammar): 4 points

Finally, we will be working on Henry V this evening--your assignment was to read the first TWO ACTS. Think about these questions:

What themes are you seeing emerge in the opening of the play?
Who are the major characters?
What is the major conflict?

What does it mean to be a king?
