Vocabulary & Spelling and Romeo & Juliet

• We started the period with the Vocabulary & Spelling #13-14 QUIZ.
• After the quiz, the students completed pages 7-8 in the grammar workbook and page 15 (Shakespearean Insults) in the Romeo & Juliet packet.
• Once all of the students completed page 7 in the grammar workbook, we reviewed that page only.
• We then spent some time reviewing the prologue activity (Completed for homework). 
• I then introduced the Perfect Mate homework assignment.
• At this point, I explained the two major assignments that will be completed for each act (notes in the INB and a visual).
• The visual will be completed at the end of each act.  Divide one 8.5x11 piece of paper into the appropriate number of sections (based on the number of scenes in the act).  Each section must include a quote with citation, an image (showing the meaning of the quote) and an explanation.  Fill one side of the paper only.  Fill the entire piece of paper.
• The notes will be in the Interactive Notebook. You will need to take notes for each page of the play.  At the end of each act, you will complete notes about the setting, character development, conflict and main event.
• We set-up the Interactive Notebook for Act I, scene i (I.i), then we got started.
• We only listened to the first scene of the play.
• Homework: Complete notes for Act I, scene i (or as far as your class read), complete the perfect mate assignment, get the Challenge Day permission slip signed.
