Rosecrantz and Guildenstern Are--: May 1, 2018

Focus: Do R & G find meaning in their lives? In their deaths?





Guildenstern: No...no...not for us, not like that. Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over...Death is not anything...death is not...It's the absence of presence, nothing more...the endless time of never coming back...a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes no sound... (124)

1. Warming up with musical chairs, using your observations and questions from yesterday

  • Extra challenge question: How is a stage like a boat?

2. Acting out the rest of Act 3 with focus questions inspired by you; then, offering you my thoughts about the stage, the boat, and the meaning of life

3. Using past A.P. prompts to discuss the play, informal Socratic-style

4. Creating your final big blog post on Waiting for GodotR & G, or both


HW:
1. Complete your final blog post by the end of the week.

2. Start your bedtime stack routine! If R & G is in your bedside stack, I recommend rereading it to make sure that you can discuss the play itself without discussing the film interpretation.
