No Fear, It's Shakespeare!!!!

Listen UP GUYS and GALS...This week  it's super important for you to keep up with the weekly reading and journal assignments. Last week we took an assessment for Act I. Friday of this week we will have an assessment that will cover what we have read for Act II. As mentioned in class at the start of this unit, it is your responsibility to keep up with what's going on with Romeo & Juliet. This is also the case if you are absent from class. If you are out, please know that you are still required to keep up with the reading and journals for each Act.

Suggestions for keeping up if you are absent for all or part of class:
1. Call or text a classmate to find out what you missed
2. Check the blog
3. Keep up with what we are doing daily, and read the next part of the play


Monday- Watch ACT I (1968) compare it to the text, musical predictions ACT II (8 square), read ACT i:i

Tuesday- 2nd and 4th Reality U, 3rd read Act ii: ii-iv; read vi for h.w., keep up with journals

Wednesday- 2nd & 4th Reality U evaluations; all classes article annotation (high school graduation article); complete ACT ii, flip books; journals

Thursday- Begin ACT III. Read up to scene ii. All journals for ACT II due tomorrow; quiz ACT II and journals due tomorrow.

Friday- Quiz ACT II; flip books; significant quotes activity. Begin ACT III.


If you do not have your own copy of the play, look it up online or go check out a copy from the media center...you can also find a copy of the movie online to help your understanding of the text...not as a substitution for reading of course. Check out www.shmoop.com
