We are gearing up to begin reading Romeo and Juliet. We're going to read the play out loud, act out scenes, watch film versions and engage in discussions about the themes, characters, and language in the play.
What is your level of experience with Shakespeare? Have you ever seen, read or performed in a Shakespeare play? How familiar are you with Romeo and Juliet and where does this familiarity come from? If you do know the play, what do you think about it? Write one paragraph about your thoughts on Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet from your previous experience.
For the second paragraph, write about what you hope to do and achieve in class over the next six weeks or so. Are you looking forward to reading the play out loud? Are you excited to get out of your seat and act? In this unit, I'd like us to get really creative - what would be your dream creative project for English class? Write about what you hope we will do in class in this unit and why.
Due Monday, February 13.
