The document appears to be excerpts from Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" discussing the themes of love and comedy.

Students will read pages 37-46 of the novel "The Rains" in class and answer comprehension questions about the reading. They will also write a constructed response as an exit ticket. The homework is to read an article called "A Slave Ship Surgeon Writes About The Slave Trade" and answer accompanying questions. The vocabulary word for the day is "vigilance", which means being on guard, as exemplified by the example sentence about a character being vigilant against those trying to take his rights. A fictional character is defined as one entirely created by the author, which may be a composite of multiple real people but is not based on a single real person.
Who is to blame for the tragedy?
The document provides instructions and materials for a spelling test and assignment about who is to blame for the tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. Students are asked to write down which characters they think are to blame, rank them, and provide evidence and quotes in a table. They are then instructed to work in pairs to find relevant quotes and analyze them using a checklist for a point-evidence-explanation paragraph on who is most to blame.
the scarlet letter
The document summarizes The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It provides details on the main characters of Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, Roger Chillingworth, and Pearl. It describes the plot where Hester commits adultery and gives birth to Pearl, her husband takes the name of Chillingworth and discovers Dimmesdale is the lover, and Dimmesdale eventually confesses his sin publicly before dying in Hester's arms. The conclusion recommends reading the book to learn about being strong, brave, kind, and understanding of those who have sinned.
Gustav Freytag
Narrative theory analyzes narratives or stories. Gustav Freytag, a German novelist and playwright, developed "Freytag's pyramid" in 1853 to analyze dramatic structure. Freytag's pyramid divides a drama into five parts - exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement. These parts progress the narrative and build tension until resolving conflicts in the conclusion. Freytag's analysis provides a framework for understanding plot development in plays, films, novels, and short stories.
