Thursday, R & J Podcasts

Objective: By the end of class students will complete reading Act II of Romeo and Juliet, review key concepts from Act II, and create podcasts centered around key passages

DO NOW: Read the following quote from Romeo and Juliet. Who said it, why did they say it, what does it mean, and what is the significance?

"In one respect I'll thy assistant be,
For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households' rancor to pure love." (p. 102)

DIRECT INSTRUCTION: Decide on pairings for Podcast

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Choose a 2-3 page passage from what we have read so far, and in pairs, use the laptops to create an audio podcast centered on that passage.

Suggested passages: Samson and Gregory (p. 5,7,9), Benvolio and Romeo (p. 21, 23, 25), Romeo and Mercutio (p. 49, 51, 53), Capulet and Tybalt (p. 63, 65), Romeo and Juliet (p.67, 69), Romeo and Juliet (p. 81, 83, 85), Romeo and Juliet (p. 91, 93, 95), Romeo and Friar Lawrence (p.99, 101, 103), Nurse and Romeo (p. 119, 121), Nurse and Juliet (p. 127, 129)


1) In your pairs, decide on the passage you want to work with. Decide who will play which role.

2) LOG IN TO LAPTOP ON YOUR NAME!  Using Garageband on the laptops, create a new project, and select PODCAST.

3) Click either male or female voice so it is highlight, and when you are ready, click the red record button at the bottom.

4) When you finish recording, press stop.

5) Use google images to find and add at least 5 images to the image bar at the top. Adjust the time bar so that pictures appear and change at appropriate times.

7) Once your podcast is finished, select SHARE at the top, and EXPORT PODCAST TO DISK.
