Today you are going to write about The Tempest, the Middle School musical you saw last Thursday. Try to describe the play and write about what you enjoyed. Think about the characters, costumes, set design, singing, and dancing.

Your blogs might go public after this post, so be sure to proofread carefully (checking for punctuation, sense, capitals, and spelling). Make sure that you have a good topic sentence, some supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence, too.

Since your blogs might be public soon, please include a link to The Dalton School so your readers can learn more about where you saw the play.

To help you remember the musical, here is a list of characters:

• Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan and the story’s protagonist
• Miranda, daughter of Prospero, often called “a wonder”
• Ariel, an airy spirit
• Caliban, deformed slave of Prospero and son of Sycorax
• Alonso, King of Naples
• Sebastian, Alonso’s brother
• Antonio, Prospero’s brother, the usurping Duke of Milan
• Ferdinand, Alonso’s son
• Gonzalo, an honest, optimistic old councilor who gave Prospero food, water, and books.
• Adrian and Francisco, lords
• Trinculo, a jester
• Stephano, a drunken butler (sometimes spelled Stefano)
• Boatswain
• Master
• Sycorax, witch and mother of Caliban (an unseen character)
• Iris, Ceres and Juno, spirits
