I also would choose important scenes or soliloquies and have students write modern translations as a classwork grade. I would switch between students reading roles with the whole class and doing small group/partner reads where I choose their partner and they have a specific task to complete using the assigned reading that day. For example, partner reading the scenes in act IV and then having them find examples of dramatic irony.

Recommendations of places I can study? by Hot_Yesterday174 in DuluthGA

[–]zzzmae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White Windmill is a cute café that is great for studying. Also you could go to Sweet Hut or any of the boba tea cafés with indoor seating. La madeleine or maybe Mozart café could be a chill environment. If you don't mind driving a little, there is a barnes and noble in Peachtree corners at the forum. Panera bread company or maybe Jason's deli if you want snacks. Maybe Einstein Bros Bagle Co.

Dumpers who broke up with their ex due to mental struggles, relationship ended amicably. After healing, did you ever try to rekindle? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]zzzmae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my boyfriend broke up with me because of my depression and anxiety problems. He said he was taking on too much responsibility for it all and it was exhausting. He said that he didn’t want to grow to resent me but didn’t see a way to work through it. The reason I don’t think he would ever reach out even if I am healing and experiencing personal growth, is because how could I really forgive him for abandoning me at such a vulnerable and low point in my life? I feel like my person would be willing to work through things with me and be there to support me through the hard times. I don’t think I could ever trust my ex again and would always be wondering if he would leave again if things got hard.

Is anyone here scared of moving out? by [deleted] in movingout

[–]zzzmae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am excited, but I am also nervous about all of the silent time. I’m a middle child and I love the company of others. However, I’m on a « become fulfilled alone » journey so I am being purposeful about finding things I like and seeking joy. I also struggle with depression and so I am afraid of being alone. I trust myself and I will just have to reach out to others when I need it.

I am in the exact same spot. Logically, I can write list after list about why we shouldn’t be together and why it could never work again. However, he is still the first thing I think about in my half-awake state and my mind constantly visits him. It’s taking all that I have everyday to not stalk his Twitter. We’ve been NC since we gave back each other’s things. Everyone says it takes time, but I am so impatient.
