Extra Credit
These extra credit assignments are worth 7points. You may not submit more than one extra credit assignment.
The extra credit assignment must be submitted on Tuesday, February 21. No late submissions (this means submissions which come in at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, February 22) will be accepted.
#1. Recite a monologue or soliloquy from Titus Andronicus and post a video of it on the class blog.
The monologue must be at least 20 lines long. You must recite, this requires that you memorize the lines, and not read the lines. In the beginning of the recording, you must describe the context within which this monologue or soliloquy is spoken (i.e identify the Act and Scene, what has happened just before this monologue or soliloquy was delivered, if this is a monologue, whom is it addressed to). You'll only receive the extra credit if your recitation is delivered in a convincing manner (i.e. capturing in your voice and tone the character who spoke those lines in the play).
#2. Watch and write a review of the movie Anonymous (2011) directed by Roland Emmerich.
Your review must be at least 200 words but should be no longer than 300 words. In the first paragraph provide a brief summary of the plot. In the second, and possibly third paragraph, discuss whether the plot line was engaging and successfully executed. To illustrate this, you must provide specific examples such as character development, setting, acting, etc. At the end of your review, you must include an MLA documentation for the movie.
