English 1

Today in class, students turned in their Queen Mab depictions that they created for homework. Next, they located examples of various literary terms found in Act One of Romeo and Juliet. We then watched Act One of the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet. To end class, students started on their costume assignment and read the Prologue and Scene 1 of Act Two. Next class students begin with Act Two Scene 2 which contains the famous balcony scene.
