Students will read an excerpt from Quiet by Susan Cain that explores the rise of the extrovert ideal in modern culture. We’ll connect this concept to the disguises and performances characters take on in Much Ado About Nothing. We will also begin reading Act II of the play, diving deeper into the drama and wit Shakespeare is known for.
