where the characters are from

other plays they have been in

their names and how they know each other

what they plan to do in the play

to tell the whole story

to give credit to all the characters and sponsors

to invite you to the after play party

to set the scene and introduce the characters giving a little background about them

to let you know Lysander is crying

to let you know Hermia is crying

so the stage hand can get a tissue

to let Lysander know what movement he should make at that time

Helena wishes she had Hermia's beauty

Helena thinks she looks better then Hermia

Helena wants Hermia to teach her to dance

Helena doesn't want to be friends with Hermia

to come with him

not to tell their secret

to meet them in the woods

to go to Athens

personification

onomatopoeia

metaphor

simile

Helena is not a good friend

Helena doesn't want to get in trouble with Hermia's father

Helena is in love with Lysander and doesn't want him to go

Helena wants Demetrius to see how much Hermia love Lysander

tell Hermia's father the secret

block the forest

use love potion

tell his boss, Oberon

in the dark forest

in the blue ocean

in the snowy mountains

in the green jungle

he forgot the love potion

he used the wrong flower

he didn't use enough

he put it on the wrong person

idiom

metaphor

simile

personification

clueless and unaware mean the same thing

clueless gives an extreme lack of understanding

unaware was a strong word

you can't be blind and unaware because you can still see
