Romeo and Juliet Acts III and IV; Terra Nova

We continue our rather brief but intense examination of Romeo and Juliet by looking into the pivotal third act and then the brief (if you can call it that) respite of Act IV.
Students can get the new planner, as well as the Act III study questions, which are due on Tuesday, April 1st (sorry, no April Fool on this one).
Wednesday is a half day, and Act IV will be due on Thursday, April 3rd.
Root Test #7 is on Friday, April 4th.

Parents (and students): An advisory concerning the upcoming Terra Nova and AIMS Science test will be on the main dothblog page.

Romeo and Juliet Acts I and II

We are taking a different approach with Romeo and Juliet. There is an emphasis on literary terms and finding examples of those terms in the text. You will be reading several literary analysis essays reflecting different aspects of the novel, written by scholars and giving you a flavor of what you will be able to add to your future discourses.
Act I is due Wednesday (you are responsible for seven of the ten quotes)
Act II is due Friday: You will have vocab and quotes, plus a reflection essay on the balcony scene that you need to read and highlight for Friday's discussion.
Thursday, you will be doing an in-class reading on Mercutio's character.
Root List #7 is also now available. That test is scheduled in the planner.
Please check out the planner for a look at the rest of the school year!
