Friday, September 4, 2009

Today after reviewing some quick vocabulary terms from Act I in Romeo and Juliet, you read part of the foreword and introduction in your books before we got started, which was followed by a brief discussion. The best thing about your book is that it contains some parallel text, in other other words, each left hand page contains definitions and explanations of difficult words and phrases that are found in the set of lines of the play on the right side page. As we listen to and discuss the play in class, use these notes as a tool to better help you understand the text.

After spending a few minutes going over the main characters, we read and listened to Act I, Scene I, stopping every few minutes to discuss what was happening. If you were absent, please read this part independently by Tuesday.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!!
