Second period finished watching Romeo + Juliet. We watched an abreviated version today, skipping several scenes in order to finish the film today. Everyone groaned at the Hollywood-ization of the ending.

Second period will be finishing up the discussion of R&J Thursday. For that discussion, they are to prepare notes (including citations) for the following questions, presented by Mrs. Schrader, one of our District Instructional Facilitator :

1. Juliet says, “I must love my loathed enemy.” Why does she act like she has no choice in the matter?
2. How are the themes of fate and retribution exemplified?
3. The nurse and Friar Laurence both conspire to help the young lovers but for different reasons.  What do you think their reasons are?

First, fourth, and sixth periods worked on editing for sentence fragments. First period completed editing for run-on sentences as well.

Homework

• First, fourth, and sixth: none.
• Second period:
  • Chapters 1-3 of Lord of the Flies for Thursday;
  • Discussion question preparation for Thursday.
