A Long Weekend

You've got some extra time this weekend. Hopefully you'll use at least some of it to prepare for the final exam. Here are the recommendations that I presented in class:


1.Take steps to fully understand the characters, plot, and themes of A Midsummer Night’s
Dream
To do this, you can...
Take notes during discussion/ film viewing
Complete theme map in notebook (there are several websites that have the full text of the
play--just google "A Midsummer Night's Dream full text."

2. Revisit the past texts/films
Review past notes, assignments, etc
Write down basic elements of the texts/films—characters, plot summaries, themes, etc.
Review notes on MLA & Monomyth
