R and J Test and Zombie version of R&J

Today we completed our Romeo and Juliet test.  We also watched 20 minutes of Shakespeare in Love, 20minutes of the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, and finally we started watching a wonderful teenaged zombie version of Romeo and Juliet -- at least I think it is.  Students will have a small written assignment once we finish watching Warm Bodies next class.

Pre-Test, Notes on Theme, and watched more of the movie. Updated Marks

Hey there!  Today we wrote a Pre-test to get ready for our test.  We took some notes on the four themes of the play:  the role of fate, the characteristics of young love, haste, the role of the individual in society.
We finished up with 20 more minutes of the play

Remember to study for your test next day.  Test Hint:  Sampson and Gregory, from the opening scene, are servants of the house of Capulet.

Notes on shakespearean tragedy and finished the play!

Today we took a few brief notes on Shakespearean Tragedy.  Finally, we finished reading the play.  Tomorrow we'll look back on the the themes of the play, complete a worksheet, and study for the test on Thursday.  In addition, we'll watch a bit of video.

Finished Act 4!

I collected and marked homework from last day.
We read all of Act 4.
Students then tried their hand at writing Elizabethan English themselves, in class.  This handout, called Shakespearean ReWrites, was marked and turned in.
We watched the DiCaprio version of R&J up to where Tybalt is killed.

I reminded class to prepare for our BIG test next Thursday afternoon!
