Romeo & Juliet, Act III

• We started the period with the selection of scenes for the R&J Performance Project.  While I drew names, the students worked on a QUICK WRITE in their INB.  Marriage: Should Romeo and Juliet have gotten married?  Why or why not? Once they finished their response, they were to set up their INB for Act III notes.
• As soon as all groups were selected, we moved on.  I passed out the new course calendar that goes until the end of the semester.  We reviewed the performance project due dates, essay due dates and final exam date.  I also briefly explained the extra credit opportunities for over the winter break.

• Performance Project: Dress Rehearsal on Friday January 15; Performances during the Final Exam period.
• R&J Theme Essay: Rough Draft DUE on Monday January 11; Final Draft DUE on Wednesday January 13.
• Extra Credit Opportunities for the Break

• Committed to Memory– Memorize a poem to recite to the class on Monday January 11. Get the assignment handout from Mrs. Minyard. You may earn up to 10 pts of Extra Credit.

• We then spent the rest of the period listening to Act III
