5. Compare your resorted terms with your original list. How has your understanding changed?
6. Select a word from the chart and write a concise statement about your learning. How has your understanding changed over the course of this unit?
Unpacking Embedded Assessment 2
Closely read the Embedded Assessment 2 assignment:
Present your assigned scene in front of your peers to demonstrate your understanding of Shakespeare’s text, elements of comedy, and performance.
Then, using the Scoring Guide on page 316, work with your class to paraphrase the expectations and create a graphic organizer to use as a visual reminder of the required concepts and skills. Copy the graphic organizer for future reference.
After each activity, use this graphic to guide reflection about what you have learned and what you still need to learn in order to be successful in completing the Embedded Assessment.
Selecting a Text for Independent Reading
To support your learning in the second half of the unit, you might choose another Shakespearean comedy to read on your own. This will help you become more familiar with Shakespeare’s language and the sources of his comedy. Suggestions include The Comedy of Errors, Love’s Labours Lost, and Much Ado About Nothing.
