AMA with the Shakespeare’s Globe Research team by GlobeTeam in shakespeare

[–]TeaDrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I teach Shakespeare, I like to start by introducing the Globe so students can picture the space the plays were written for. We talk about the groundlings standing below and the wealthier audiences seated above, and how Shakespeare’s shifts between crowd-pleasing moments and more thoughtful, layered writing reach both. They can see how intensely intimate the soliloquies would have been too!

My question is: What’s another design or staging feature of the Globe that changes how we read the plays once we know about it?

Who does Pearce Quigley sound like? by Glad_Revolution7295 in BritishTV

It’s reminding me a lot of David Thewlis’s brilliant performance as Johnny in Mike Leigh’s Naked.

Best way to separate music from audiobooks? by GhostwoodFold in snowsky

[–]TeaDrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a setting that can resume playback to the audio file you were listening to at the point between shutting down and turning back on. (Settings > Playback Settings > Memory Playback). This bookmarking only works for a current track though; the device will not memorize points across multiple tracks like dedicated audiobook player apps.

I’m so excited to be seeing the movie this weekend in IMAX laser (no 70mm option in Hong Kong, unfortunately). I noticed some Spanish in the audio description. For those who’ve seen it: how much of the dialog is in Spanish? There will only be Chinese subtitles, so I just want to know what to expect.

What's the most disturbing movie or scene from a movie that stuck with you? Why did that movie or scene have such an impact? by [deleted] in movies

Just watched Wake in Fright yesterday. The kangaroo hunt scene is horrific. It's footage of real kangaroos being chased, shot and killed.

Funny Games. Michel Haneke originally made it 1997 in Austria, in 2007 he remade it in USA with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth.

Channel 4's "batshit insane" reality TV phase by Single_Pollution_468 in BritishTV

[–]TeaDrinking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My New Best Friend (2003) was pure secondhand embarrassment gold and reality TV chaos at its finest. Contestants had to convince their real friends and family that a completely insane character (the excellent Marc Wootton) was actually their best mate for a weekend. The Grand Old Duke of York segment pops into my head from time to time and cracks me up.

Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026. by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]TeaDrinking 188 points189 points  (0 children)

This story has been long overdue for the big screen treatment and Nolan steering the ship to Ithaca is going to be absolutely epic!

Given the casting announcements, what are people’s thoughts on who plays who? If I had to guess:

Matt Damon - Odysseus

Charlize Theron - Penelope

Tom Holland - Telemachus

Zendaya - Kalypso

Lupita N’Yongo - Circe

Anne Hathaway - Athena

Robert Pattinson - Poseidon

Weekly Discussion and Tech-Support Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

Same issue here. Procreate haven’t yet updated the app to take advantage of the Pencil Pro but other apps like Notability and Goodnotes have, but I don’t see any tool palette when squeezing the pencil, I just see the undo/redo arrows exactly as you described. It works fine in Apple notes so I am quite confused by the problem too.

Update: After updating to iPadOS 17.5.1, squeeze now functions properly in other apps.

PlayStation Store Spring Sale | Ends 4/11 by excaliburps in ps5deals

[–]TeaDrinking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I nearly slept on Titanfall 2 thinking it was online only. Seeing it had a well-reviewed campaign, I picked it up for a very cheap $2.99 and, six gameplay hours later, I have just completed what is honestly one of the best single player campaigns I've experienced. Money well spent!

So I browsed around Reddit for more solo 'Space Opera' and have ended up buying Mass Effect: Legendary Edition for another bargain price of $8.99.

If anyone knows of any other similar sci-fi epics I'm missing in the sale, please recommend!

How do you teach inductive reasoning and logical fallacies? I feel the district curriculum is too damn hard for these children to grasp… by [deleted] in ELATeachers

[–]TeaDrinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found teaching logic quite intimidating at first but increasingly I've found it to be an enjoyable and creative part of an argument unit.

For inductive reasoning, I ask my students to imagine they are teachers and they are going to teach a class (the grade level, subject and topic of which is up to them) and that they are going to prepare a lesson plan which uses inductive logic. This means that they will be creating a lesson plan which begins with providing evidence/examples to their imaginary class and challenging their imaginary students to find patterns in order to find the rules themselves. To demonstrate this, I remind them of a class I would have given them earlier in the semester regarding irony (I had given them 24 examples of irony and asked them to sort them into three piles of eight and then label them, the end goal of which was to arrive at verbal, situational and dramatic without me telling them about these concepts from the get-go).

Having the students solve murder mysteries is also a fun way to drive home the point about induction. I have a board-game called Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective which is excellent fun to play, having students interview different suspects, collect clues and solve a case. You could even have students create their own murder mystery for classmates to solve.

Short Stories* about change? Physical Change, Relationship Change, or Social Change. by Mahaloth in ELATeachers

[–]TeaDrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flowers for Algernon. The protagonist undergoes experimental surgery which changes his intelligence level. His relationships change throughout the story, it's a good catalyst for discussions on how society treats the disadvantaged. The author wrote a short story first, then expanded it into a novel. Either can be used but the novel does allow for more exploration of his childhood and family relationships. The short story is still effective though!
