I don’t know about you, but I can feel Spring trying to “March” into Burbank but I’m afraid St. Patrick’s Day may find us bundled up as we attend the parades or various activities around our Southside town. Speak- ing of the Irish, the Bobcat Literacy Enrichment team has interviewed some of our proud Irish staff mem- bers in order to learn about some of the traditional activities shared with their families during this special holiday. Be sure to check out our video found on my website: http://www.bsd111.org/olc/49 Our books are flying off the shelves and in some cases our students become so entrenched in them that they forget to return them to the library for renewal. Please be reminded that our Bobcats can check out our books for one week. At that time, the student may renew the book for an additional week. If the stu- dent fails to return the book on time, he/she is given ONE ENTIRE WEEK beyond the due date to return the book. It is only after that one-week grace period that we must initiate the $.05 per day fine for overdue books. Please note that our books are very popular so please encourage your child to return the books on time. My Bobcats are continuing to learn new technology skills as they encounter the district’s latest online ap- plications in addition to the exciting new literacy skills they are developing in class. Ask them about the latest biographies I’ve shared with them! We absolutely love learning about these amazing people from our past and present! We wish you all a wonderful Spring Break filled with lots of rest, relaxation, and hopefully, great weather!

Students worked on dribbling, passing and shooting. After practicing the proper ways to perform the skills, we moved on to game play where students were able to display those skills in action. Students played in organized games of five on five using offensive and defensive strategies as well as working as a team. Our next unit will be Speedway where students will be using soccer, ultimate football and handball skills to play this quick-paced game! Speedway combines multiple sports and allows all skill levels to be uti- lized allowing for a lot of different strategies and movements. 4 NOTESNOTES FROM MRS.

The two phenomena under scrutiny, K\SHUXQGHUVWDQGLQJ and PLVXQGHUVWDQGLQJ, categorize as responsive conversational turns as they connect to a previously made utterance. Whereas hyper-understanding revolves around a speaker’s ability to exploit potential weak spots in a previous speaker’s utterance by playfully echoing that utterance while simultaneously reversing the initially intended interpretation, misunderstanding involves a genuine misinterpretation of a previous utterance by a character in the fictional world. Both cases, however, hinge on the differentiation of viewpoints, yielding a layered discourse representation. A corpus study based on the British television series %ODFNDGGHU reveals which pivot elements can serve as a trigger for hyper- and misunderstanding. Common to all instances, it is argued, is a mechanism ofILJXUHJURXQG UHYHUVDO. Key words: interactional humor, hyper-understanding, misunderstanding, layering, mental spaces, figure-ground reversal 2 ,QWURGXFWLRQ Recent studies in pragmatics (see e.g. Attardo 2003) have shown a renewed interest in humor as a valuable topic of interdisciplinary research. More specifically, these studies have extended the traditional focus of humor research on jokes to include longer narrative texts (Attardo 2001a, Triezenberg 2004) and conversational data (Boxer and Cortés-Conde 1997, Hay 2001, Kotthoff 2003, Norrick 2003, Antonopoulou and Sifianou 2003, Archakis and Tsakona 2005). New data from conversation analysis, text linguistics and discourse psychology present significant challenges to linguistic humor theories like the General Theory of Verbal Humor (Attardo 1994, 2001a), and call for (sometimes major) revisions.

Plot Blackadder Goes Forth is set in 1917 on the Western Front in the trenches of World War I. Captain Edmund Blackadder is a professional soldier in the British Army who, until the outbreak of the Great War, has enjoyed a relatively danger-free existence fighting natives who were usually "two feet tall and armed with dried grass". Finding himself trapped in the trenches with another "big push" planned, his concern is to avoid being sent over the top to certain death. The show thus chronicles Blackadder's attempts to escape the trenches through various schemes, most of which fail due to bad fortune, misunderstandings and the general incompetence of his comrades.

  • Blackadder Goes Forth the Final Push
    CARDIFF OPEN AIR THEATRE FESTIVAL: EVERYMAN 20 Sophia Gardens Cathedral Road Cardiff CF11 9SQ AUDITION NOTICE “... if nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.” General A.C.H. Melchett, VC KCB DSO (May 1917) BLACKADDER GOES FORTH THE FINAL PUSH from the BBC TV Series by Richard Curtis & Ben Elton It's 1917 and Edmund Blackadder is now a captain in the British Army at the Western Front, commanding gallant-but-dumb Lieutenant George St. Barleigh and the even dumber Private S. Baldrick. Waiting in fear of the dreaded order to go 'over the top' from the patently insane General Melchett and his twitchy staff officer, Captain Darling, Blackadder devises serial attempts to escape the trenches always with the offer of one of Baldrick's cunning plans. First broadcast on the BBC in 1989, Blackadder Goes Forth is one of the most intelligent as well as among the funniest of British sitcoms. Adapted & Directed by SIMON H WEST Performance Dates: Thursday 18th June to Saturday 27th June 2020 Festival Theatre, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff No performances on Sunday 19th June Technical & Dress Rehearsals: Sunday 14th June to Wednesday 17th June Rehearsal period will be short and intensive, taking place over just one month beginning around May 14th.
