Each day that we read, you are to go in and write a comment about something that happened today. If you were not in the action, you can comment on someone else's wall about them or the things that might be happening. You will receive 10 points for each comment you write, and 5 points for each response to another character's comment. You may also send a comment or question to Shakespeare. The maximum points for each day is 20.

Comments – Act II – Your grade for Act II will be based upon your commentary on three of the seven actions in Act II. You may comment personally if you are involved in three of them, but if you are not involved in three, you need to comment about what you overheard or what “have heard. “ I’m sure you can imagine that the Castle would be filled with gossip about all these events. Make sure when you comment that I know that you know what happened.

Your comments don’t have to be long, but they must be insightful.

Comments Act III Your grade for Act III will be based upon your commentary on three of the eight actions in Act II. You may comment personally if you are involved in three of them, but if you are not involved in three, you need to comment about what you overheard or what you “have heard. “ I’m sure you can imagine that the Castle would be filled with gossip about all these events.
