Thursday, March 24th:

If all goes according to plan, and it never does - we will begin William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. We will do a fun hour of breaking into “gangs” and screaming Shakespearean insults at each other. We will also find out really interesting factoids about Shakespeare and the impact he had on the English language. We may, if we have time, watch the opening scene of the two R & J films.



Friday, March 25th:

We will begin actually reading and acting out the roles in Romeo and Juliet - for after all, it is a play and plays are meant to be acted. Right?
