Friday, September 25, 2009

Today I had absolutely no voice, so that changed our plans a bit. Instead of discussing Act 5 of the play and also going over your notes from the film yesterday (which we will do on Monday,) I had you read two short , interesting articles that give evidence to how influential the story of Romeo and Juliet is, even in modern times. Download by clicking the links below. Next, you took a brief survey and compared it to a survey that you took before we began reading the play, and you discussed with a partner whether or not any of your rankings or opinions had changed as a result of reading the play. Click here to see the survey.

The rest of the period was spent making Romeo and Juliet comic strips, in which you were required to summarize your favorite scene in the play in a six-tile comic strip. If you did not finish, your comic strip is due in class on Monday. Click here for instructions.

Have a great weekend, especially if you are going to be enjoying the homecoming football game and dance on Saturday! Be safe and don't get arrested!
