March 23-27

It's the last week before Spring Break!  Everyone is looking a bit weary these days; hang in there and you'll soon be enjoying the (rare) Santa Monica two-week break. This week, we'll enjoy one of the most famous scenes in Western Literature: the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet.

TUESDAY: Read the famous balcony scene in Act II, Scene II and a close reading on two of the most famous passages.  Map out how you would set the scene on a piece of paper. HW: Finish set drawing for scene.  If it's your turn, have discussion questions prepared for the Independent Reading Lit Circle meeting on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY: Reading with independent reading book.  Last half of class is Lit Circle meeting and discussion.  DUE: 1 set of discussion questions for each reading group.

THURSDAY:  View various interpretations of the balcony scene and discuss.  DUE: Set drawing for balcony scene.  HW: Read Act II, Scenes III and IV for Friday.

FRIDAY: Discuss Scenes III and IV.  Read V and VI.  View up to the end of Act II, 1996 version.  HW: Work on your independent reading.  Preview Act III of Romeo and Juliet.

Enjoy the break and get plenty of rest!  I look forward to seeing you in April.
