En 10: Henry V homework from Friday's class on 12 Nov

Today we looked at the "Harfleur speech" from the beginning of Act 3 (scene 1).  Before Monday's class, please ensure you do the following:

a) find three quotations from the speech that you find to be motivating or inspiring.

b) write your own speech (people often write about sports) that meets the following guide lines:
     * about 15 lines long
     * colourful adjectives and adverbs
     * powerful verbs (ex. instead of "run" try "charge" or "attack")
     * employ some figurative language such as metaphors or similes (ex. "our defenders are a wall" or we
        will crush them like the fleas that they are")

Enjoy your weekend
