- We started the period by finishing scene v of Act III.
- I then gave the students a bit of time to finish up the Act III notes and get their notebooks set-up for Act IV.
- Before beginning Act IV, we reviewed the main events that took place in Act III, including: the fight, Mercutio's and Tybalt's deaths, Romeo's banishment, and Capulet's contempt for his daughter's disobedience.
- We then listened to Act IV.
- The final activity of the period was connected to the final Romeo & Juliet essay. We defined topic (a general single-word subject) and theme (the author's specific message about a topic). The students then had time in class to come up with examples and find supporting quotes for four topics (Fate, Prejudice, Loyalty, and Hate)
- Homework for ALL Classes: Study Vocabulary & Spelling #15-16; Finish Act IV Notes and Visual; Complete Cue Cards, Complete 12 of 18 Creating a Character questions (in the Performance Project Packet). In addition to the above, 3rd period (only) needs to have 2 examples with quotes for each theme.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
