Module 4: A Thousand Voices - Discovering Poetry and Short Stories

Introduction

You've just read and listened to the famous "All the world's a stage" soliloquy, and soon you will be asked to record your own reading of that speech. In order to better prepare you to do a dramatic reading and to make certain you have understood what an image is, you are now going to take a closer look at the soliloquy.

Instructions

In the template provided, you will find a version of the soliloquy broken into eight sections (the introductory lines and then the seven ages). In each section you are provided a translation into modern wording.

For each section you must:

• Sketch out the mental picture that you get from the image that the words evoke.
• Note or outline how you plan to read that section of the soliloquy.

Decide on the feeling, the tone, and make sure that each section is distinct. Make some parts amusing, some parts serious. Figure out how you will bring this little bit of the magic of Shakespeare's language to life!
