Wednesday, January 9, Introduction to Romeo & Juliet

Objective: By the end of class, students will learn how to read Shakespeare, learn background information about Romeo & Juliet, be introduced to characters and the play's timeline.

DO NOW

Do you believe "love at first sight" can last forever? Or does it even exist? Is love at first sight, really just loving the IDEA of being in love? So that maybe you are not actually in love with the other person, just the idea of love?

Direct Instruction

Read 781-782 - how to read Shakespeare.  Focus on where to pause when reading.

Read background  - page 784. Discuss fate and controlling our own destinies and timeline of Romeo & Juliet.
