First and fourth periods looked at the prologue to act 1, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. We read it and marked it a number of ways. The first step as always, check for unknown/unfamiliar words:

The second step was to look at some of the pronouns and determine their antecedents.

Finally, we looked at subjects and verbs as well as returning to the question of pronouns/antecedents.

Next up: the most difficult part of the play in many ways, the opening scene.

Second and seventh periods returned to the dramatized version of The Diary of Anne Frank. We went through the first third of act one scene three, looking at how words, actions, and emotions reveal Mrs. Van Daan’s character.
