Buses were cancelled today and no full group attended class. A huge thank you to the students who sorted and took inventory of the props. You will have first dibs on those for future work!
You will have about 10 minutes on Wednesday, March 28 to run through the scene(s) you have developed to provide the explanation for the ballad "Edward, Edward" that I read to you in class on Tuesday.
Here it is in the original Scots dialect: edward edward ballad.
This is what Edward's sword ("brand") might have looked like if the setting were 1380 AD. (More info on Scottish swords.)
Here's information on hunting and hawking--check out the other links on this site for Scottish history.
Here are examples of a 'tower house castle' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HallbarTower5.jpg
