Acting Time!

Let's act out pages 92-96 and we'll discuss these question: 

1. How does this scene reflect the "class dimension" of war? Think about which characters play various roles. What are the playwrighters suggesting about who in our society plays which roles in real life?
2. What other statements or beliefs about war are the authors representing through this scene?

Actors Needed

• Henry
• Sergeant (Sam)
• General (Ball)
• Bailey
• Various Voices/All Voices/Soldiers (the audience)
• Mother
• President (Waldo)

Seminar Prep Time!

1. Silently read and annotated Civil Disobedience (if you lost the hard copy, it is in google classroom) OR participate in the optional group read-aloud!
2. Complete Parts 1 and 2 of the seminar prep by tomorrow (at the very least, complete Part 1 and read and annotate Civil Disobedience, THEN tomorrow you can complete the questions for Part 2 and Part 3)
3. Be ready to work in a small group to summarize the main idea of each paragraph in Civil Disobedience tomorrow! (I'd recommend writing down one word that you think captures the main idea of each paragraph as you read!)
