English 9 - After our terrific discussion about the plausible scenarios you came up with (and the accompanying rationales), we watched Act 4, scene 1 today.  Man, did the law ever come back to bite Shylock on the butt, eh?  Tomorrow, we'll examine a couple of important passages, indicate the differences between the written ending vs the movie ending, and do a one-pager dealing with dramatic irony.   If you missed the video, here's the link.  Start it up at about 1:23 or so.  If you find it tough to understand, we can figure it out in class tomorrow.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mpm3FeirH0&feature=related   English 122 -  We discussed your chapter 3 Guiding Questions, then you completed an assignment dealing with possible scenarios that might play themselves out by the end of the novel, along with rationales.  We'll discuss those tomorrow in class.  For Friday, you have a Reflection and you must have completed to the end of chapter 4.
