Romeo & Juliet Final:
1. Character Journal Response:
Using your choice log answer this question:
-What does Shakespeare teach us about choices and how does this help us to relate to his plays today? Use specific examples, cited, from the text.
-Turn it in with your choice log.
2. Scene Rewrite:
-In your groups, choose a scene (not the balcony scene), or portion of the scene (if the scene is too long) that reflects a choice that is pivotal to the play. Then, modernize your scene, making choices that show how we can relate to the idea. This can be a straight modernization, or you can put it in any other form that we would relate to today (Reflects our interests).
-You will perform the scene for the class. Your performance should be no more than 5 minutes long.
-You will also have to write a justification for your choices. Why did you choose this scene? Why is the choice important to the development of the theme of the play? Why did you decide to put it into the context you did?
**Note** Some of the scenes involve violence. Your depiction may NOT be gratuitous and you may NOT bring fake weapons to school. No toy guns, swords, etc. If you need props of this kind, we will make "school-friendly" versions in class.
