Act I Post Due Wednesday, May 26th by 11:59pm!

Here is the rubric that you are following when Blogging. I have highlighted what you should focus on, meaning that meeting these guidelines will help you receive a good grade.

This is the rundown of what you are Blogging on or what your posts should include:

*** Use your vocabulary handouts to become familiar with the vocab words you would like to include in your blog post. When you post for each Act, you want to focus on the vocab words for that Act. Platinum Blogger = including more than two vocab words from the Act in your post.

*** Your post should focus on your views and opinions of the plot, characters (inner struggles), and the setting. Also, analyze the plot and the development of the characters.

*** Tie in any important themes and symbols that you find to be appropriate.

*** Relate the play/ its characters to the media/ your personal life. It is important to make that connection between literature and your own lives.
-+-+- Can you relate the characters and plot to other characters we studied or other literary works? -+-+-


Important Details About Commenting On Other Blogs:

After you publish your post, you want to go visit other blogs and you want to comment on what your peers have written. Hopefully, your peers will post higher- level thinking questions that will help you all initiate discussions. You must, however, do the same. This contributes to becoming a Platinum Blogger. Please make an effort to reply to at least three posts (three different bloggers). If you do not make this effort, then it will affect your grade (look at the rubric).


Any questions? Hit the comment button and ask away...


Ps: Write properly! Use transition words! Type your work into Microsoft Word first, then copy and paste it into Blogger.


Pps: Get creative!!! Include pictures and videos that relate to the play/your post!

  2. ACT 1 POST


    A Doll’s house is an interesting book based on drama and frivolous events. I think the book has a plot that is filled with amortization. Nora and Torvalt’s marriage is filled with lies, which till this point only nora has hidden secrets. She lies supposedly to save her husband.
    Nora is a woman who is obsessed with money and squandering. If nora really wanted to save her husbands life then why not be honest and explain the situation. I think there might be something else going on. As Nora’s secrets are revealed she learns that her lies will eventually poisons everyone’s mind according to Torvalt who is a lawyer and knows about these situations. After hearing these facts she realizes how dishonest and dirty she has been.
    I can relate A doll’s house to The Monkey’s paw. When Mr. White wished his son alive a knock was later heard on his door. Mrs. White raced to the door to receive her resurrected son. Mr. white knowing the consequences of using the monkeys paw realizes that his son could come back in pieces or any other way except for whole and normal. He cancels his wish by making his son disappear. Mrs. White unlocks the door but finds nothing. MR. WHITE LIES TO SAVE HIS WIFES LIFE.

  4. I hear there is a lot of drama with the commenting. Did you put in the word verification that they ask?
    It's important that you do that and then see your comment right after posted.

    This post is for Joelle by the way.

    By the way, who posted above with their Act I analysis? It needs to go in your own blog.

  5. I thought the play was very interestring. Nora was a very childish character to Torvald, her husband. That's not a good way to treat your husband. Then Krogstad wants them to pay him so he can get his job back. But it was a very interesting play to read this year.
