Collected homework: Act 3 take home open book packet/test
Review Romeo & Juliet bird information on BLOG (R&J bird posters)
Wrote the subtext of our lives so far today - What is it we are thinking about? Wrote out what we are thinking but are not saying.
Graded Act 3 take home open book packet/test and RECOLLECTED
Discussed why we don’t speak the truth each time we are asked.
Discussed subtext and body language.
Looked at Benvolio’s and Mercutio’s dialogue from Act 3.1 and discussed what they actually said and the likely subtext of what they said.
Compared the original script of Romeo & Juliet Act 3.1 to the 1968 film version of the same and noted the edits in the film.
Began Script cutting exercise – cutting 1/3 of lines from Act 3 scene 3 or 5 (see handout) – keep essential elements – do not destroy the meaning of the scene – cut approximately 1/3 of the lines
ENGLISH homework:
Finish script cutting exercise (see above)

PLAYWRITING – Day 33
Discussed what made some of yesterday’s scenes dramatic…foils, suspense, etc.
With our same partners, wrote and performed/mimed dramatic interpretations of a car key request to one’s parents when we know the answer is no.
PLAYWRITING homework:
Write page long revision to the car keys scene – this time, you may not begin with the kid’s request for the keys. This time, the parent speaks first. Dramatically speaking, where will be the most interesting place to begin this scene. Think subtle and slow. Add dialogue this time if necessary.
