- We started the period by working on a Preposition Scramble for #27-53. The students were required to complete this assignment without referring to the list of prepositions. The students then completed a practice quiz for #27-53. The students will have a quiz next time on prepositions #27-53.
- I spent a few moments talking to the students about the extra credit opportunity tonight. Attend the Teen Forum at City Hall and take notes. Completed notes and reflections will earn up to 15 points of extra credit.
- I then introduced the Romeo & Juliet Performance Assignment. The students will sign-up for a group/scene next class period. They will need to memorize their lines and rehearse with their group. The in class preparation will happen on Tuesday January 5. The scene summary and character motivation analysis is due on the day of the performance-Thursday January 7.
- We spent a bit of time reviewing Acts I & II. We specifically discussed the characteristics of Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio, Benvolio, Lady Capulet, Nurse and the Prince.
- We then spent the remaining part of the period listening to Act III.
