6 LINE SCENES ~ PART 1 has fifteen 6 line/2 person scenes taken from The Comedy of Errors. The edits are minor. Directions for this activity are on the first page, but use it anyway you like to explore the play through mini scenes. Stay tuned for PART 2 which will include another eight scenes from Act 4 and 5.

HARLOTS & STRUMPETS ~ Dozens of lines taken from A Comedy of Errors to be used in a full class activity - an insulting conversation. Divide the class in half and give each student a copy of the handout. Half the class are "Harlots" and half the class are "Strumpets." The groups face each other. Each group will read their lines together to the other group, using lots of expression. Try starting quietly and slowly get louder and angrier with each line. Try starting by standing on opposite sides of the room and move closer to the other group with each line. But the end, you will be standing right in front of one another.
