Today students checked out copies of the play in the book room. If you don't have your own copy, you will need to arrange with Ms. Eide in the library to check out a copy when you return. You will need to have your Romeo and Juliet in class every day.
We started out by taking a look at the Globe Theater and doing an online Scavenger Hunt about it. The link for the Scavenger Hunt is listed here on my page: you will need to pick up a copy of the purple handout from the gray file box and complete it if you were absent. This page will be in your homework packet.
Shakespeare created a lot of words and phrases that we use every day: he was also a master of the insult. Using the links on this page, we practiced insulting one another, then created insults of our own. In pairs, students created a short skit using the insults they had created. Skits were performed and collected for participation points. If you were absent, pick up the handout called "What Did you Call Me?" from the grayfile box and complete it; use the links on this page to check out some insults and create 5-6 of your own. Then write a short skit, using the skit on "What Did you Call Me" as a model, and turn it in for credit. Save the handout for your homework packet.
