DOL

Much Ado About Everything - Wm. Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing as reworked by Jane Bell Kiester

[Instructions: Find shared doc from Snelling and copy then paste each DOL into your Online Journal and correct punctuation, grammar, etc. on your own then add class corrections for a final perfect version of each set of sentences. We will do this exercise two or three times a week for the remainder of the school year. If you are absent, when you return just copy and paste those that you missed and correct on your own. Effort and evidence of knowledge development will equal success.]

DOL 2

The convoluted soap opera of peace battles began at the end of a foiled rebellion.  Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon, Spain, had just defeated his amoral half-brother, Don John. The latter had been the malefactor who staged the rebellion.

Shakespearean Insult of the Day -

“Artless beef-witted baggage”

DOL 3

Don Pedro and two of his gallants, Claudio, a stalwart stripling from Florence, Italy, and Benedick of Padua, Italy, were returning home from the war. When they reached Messina, Italy, they were to become the guests of Leonato, the governor of Messina.

Shakespearean Insult of the Day -

“Craven doghearted varlet”

Sample of 1993 film version of Much Ado... for your enlightenment and pleasure
