You all did well in today's reading. Before you return to class on Wednesday, please paraphrase two medium-length speeches:
a) Montjoy: Act 3, scene 6, lines 103 to 123
b) Henry: Act 3, scene 6, lines 125 to 144
Remember that a paraphrase is NOT a translation, NOR is it a summary - it's a little of both.
Take each sentence and put it into your own words. If I was to do the beginning of Montjoy's speech at line 123, I would say the following:
"My king told me to tell Harry that our army was just sleeping and waiting for the right time to attack because it is better to not be rash and thus we didn't attack him at Harfleur. Tell Harry he shall be sorry for what he has done and want to offer himself for ransom to fix the insult and injury France has suffered...."
Use the No Fear Shakespeare link on the blog to get a translation if you need help.
Good luck.
