Today, we discussed Act I of the play (and completed it). You are to have the Act I questions completed and submitted for Thursday (you can always hand in early if you will be missing on Thursday). We then read Act II, scene i and part of scene ii up to when the servant leaves after speaking to Bassanio (page 63, line 113).
I then handed out the vocabulary and questions for Act II.
If you are absent, one trick that works is to go to "no fear shakespeare merchant of venice" This site will show you the act on one side and a modern translation on the other. It will make the task of reading alone much easier. I still insist you read the Shakespeare version first in order to become familiar with the language.
