Setting Up The Capulet Party

Today, we watched a clip from the old R&J film. Just the part that went with Act I.i. On something called a "video cassette."

Then, we got volunteers to read I.ii out loud in class, stopping to explain difficult passages.

Tonight's HW:

• Read I.iii-iv
• Here is a link to the Online Textbook
• And here is a link to the Sparknotes translation. 
• As well as these two Reading Guides:
• Guide to I.iii
• Guide to Mercutio's "Queen Mab"Speech

Romeo and Juliet: Act I, Scene I

Behold the power of translations:

Here's a modern-English rendition of the play, side-by-side with the original Shakespearean.
(Thanks, Sparknotes.)


And FURTHERMORE, here's a Word document with a translation of Act I, Scene I, that I wrote myself.


Use any/all tools at your disposable to assist you in your HW, which was to read I.i for Monday.

See you then!
