Dear my loyal subjects, King Gabe, Queen Mairen, King Zachary, and Queen Hannah:

This week's assignment is to read Act III, Scenes 1-2 of Julius Caesar and the writing assignment is:
"What is superstition?  Does it play a part in your life? Explain."  Remember, that if superstition does not play a part in your life, you can write about an example from literature or from someone that you know.  The bonus question is: "What is a soothsayer?" or "Who was Cato?"

Last week, some of us were able to take a field trip and see the Seattle Shakespeare Company's Romeo and Juliet.  After the play, we were able to ask questions about how they memorized so many lines.  One actor stated that he uses muscle memory and moves a certain part of his body while memorizing certain parts.  Whatever method it is that you use, please be working on your set piece.  We will be taking into consideration how well scholars finish this assignment as well as others when casting the play next semester.

Keep calm and finish one step at a time.

Sincerely,
Queen Leiloni
