ONCE YOU'RE DONE PREPARING FOR DISCUSSION TOMORROW...
You may begin previewing The Taming of the Shrew.  I've found some different clips that give you the summary of the play.  On Friday we will begin watching a production of Shakespeare's version.  It's pretty hard to understand because the language is so different from how we talk now.  Watch the clips below so you can have an idea of what the play is about before we watch it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9qZsnMNie0 - This one is good but very fast and a bit hard to understand.  You may want to watch it more than one time.

Start at :41.  http://video.about.com/shakespeare/Shakespeare--Taming-of-the-Shrew-Overview.htm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywlHc06Ynyw

Many of Shakespeare's plays are adapted into more modern versions today.  Here is a trailer for a movie that used the story of The Taming of the Shrew, but updated it to a more modern setting.
