ENGLISH – 3rd trimester – Day 34 

REMIND CLASS: On Thursday, you will have a test on Act 3 that lists a bunch of quotes from Act 3 and you will be asked to identify the character who said it… 

  • Like yesterday: Using any of the scenes from ACT 3 (pgs. 873 – 905) find an important quote from any character and write it on one of the whiteboards…no repeats. Do NOT add the character’s name to your quote when you write it down.
  • After everyone has added their quotes, number their quotes on the whiteboards…then have each student number a paper (1-28?) and, without using their books, they are to write down which character said each quote.
    • (This exercise serves as a pretest to Thursday’s actual test.)
1.      Read Romeo & Juliet Act 4, Scenes 1 and 2.
2.      Answer all the questions from Act 4, scene 1 and 2 - The questions are in the margins of the textbook – Look for the “?” – There are 14 total.
3.      Read Act 4, Scene 1 and 2 with a partner and write a 7-sentence paragraph of subtext for one character from Act 4, Scene 1 (choose either Paris, Friar, or Juliet)
4.      Write another 7-sentence paragraph of subtext for either Juliet or Capulet from Act 4, Scene 2  – 14 sentences total

PLAYWRITING – Day 34

·        REPEAT the warm-up from yesterday, but for a DIFFERENT CHARACTER:
o   PROMPT: “What might one of your character’s think but never say”
§  Write for 5 minutes, writing the entire time.
o   After 5 minutes, read what you have written and underline what you believe to be the most interesting thing.
o   Using this as your new starting point, write for 3 more minutes.

·         The rest of the hour, work on new scripts (from yesterday and Friday), using either what you came to class with or what you just created in the warm-up.

·         ANNOUNCEMENT: We will begin working in a computer lab on Wednesday. Your 5-page, hand-written rough draft needs to be completed before Wednesday’s class so you can concentrate on typing it in and revision. 

PLAYWRITING homework: 

·         5 pages, handwritten, due Wednesday

·         10 pages, typed, due Friday
