Over the last week, we finished act 1 of Romeo and Juliet and started act 2. This included preparing masks for the masked ball and learning the Pilgrims and Saints Dance. We even completed an act 1 quiz on Kahoot.it!
Today, we finished comparing the balcony scene in the illustrated graphic novel and in to film versions using Venn diagrams. Then we divided the rest of act 2 (and part of act 3) into smaller scenes and created groups to study and to perform the scenes. We started to read through and to prepare the scenes for performance on Thursday and Friday.
Finally, the rubric for the independent reading program was handed out with the requirement that students have an independent novel selected for Thursday.
Tomorrow, the first half of the period with be spent on an orientation to Guidance. Followed by more of the film. We'll return to scene preparation on Wednesday.
