mentor text:
Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing
Warm-Up:
Take the next five minutes to reflect on the lyrics of this song.
Choose one of the stanzas and reflect on what this song is saying about relationships.
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more,
For dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.
Knowing that this song is a big
thematic element in MABN,
take a guess.

About Nothing will say about

Ms. Sabrina's Thoughts on Healthy Relationships
MUSIC:
Time, curious time
Gave me no compasses, gave
me signs
Were there clues I didn't see?
And isn't it just so pretty to
think
All along there was some
Invisible String
Tying you to me?
Time, mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing
me fine
