Today, we discussed what is meant by the terms "objective" and "subjective". We then read the rest of Act One of A Thousand Clowns. I then instructed the students to locate 10 allusions in Act One and then look up what they actually refer to and write this down. We then discussed the allusions and realized there are probably as many as 20. I then showed examples of writing which was not proofed before it was handed in. I stressed that taking this final step can reduce embarrassment later on.
