Sorry for not updating for a few days!
Students presently have read the first two acts of Romeo and Juliet.
Homework due today was the Act 2 questions (that we worked on last day).
Last day I handed out a Romeo and Juliet project sheet. Students have a choice of 8 different projects to complete. We worked on the project last day and spent 40 minutes today working on it. This project will be due next Wednesday morning.
Discussion at the start of the class today included a talk about what tragic flaw Romeo and Juliet have: we agreed it was their naiveté and also their haste that were their flaws. We also discussed the role of fate (coincidence) in what has happened along with the opposite point of view: that Romeo and Juliet made conscience, deliberate decisions to determine their future.
Act 3 next day!
