First period worked on a review of direct objects. Afterwards, we began organizing our persuasive writing pieces. During exploratory, students completed a first draft.

Second period completed R&J act three scene two. We noted several parallels between how Juliet describes Romeo in the opening soliloquy and how Romeo describes her in act 2 scene 2. There are also some parallels in how Romeo describes his mixed emotions in act 1 scene 1 and how Juliet describes her feelings in act 3 scene 2.

Fourth and sixth periods began organizing their persuasive essays.
