Tuesday, April 10, R & J

Objective: By the end of class, students will demonstrate comprehension of character, make predictions and interpret Shakespearean language.

DO NOW

Use the picture book to identify two couplets, two metaphors and an example of personification from ACT 2 scene 2.

1. Make predictions. Romeo asks Juliet to marry him and agrees to meet with the nurse at 9 am the next morning to make arrangements. What might happen? What can go wrong? Do Romeo and Juliet really think things through? Where will they go? Without their parents support, how will they live?

1.
Use directions on handout to write a letter to "Dear Abbey." If you are a girl, write it from Juliet's perspective and if you are a boy, write it from Romeo's perspective. When everyone has written a letter, we will randomly switch and another student will write the response from Abbey.

2. Read ACT 2 / scene 3.

3. Complete study guide questions through ACT 2 scene 3.

4. Review answers to date.

View through Act 2 scene 3.

Exit Pass

Why does the Friar agree to marry them? Do you think he should have called their parents? What should he have done differently?
