Today's lesson was varried, to say the least.
We talked about the controversy surrounding Zeferelli's film (and the fact that I no longer show it)
We looked at how R&J can be used to build community after genocide.
We had a gander at Juliet's balcony in Verona.
We discussed sonnet form, rhyming couplets, iambic pentameter, allusion, imagery, and the racism of certain imagery from the work.
After a brief review, students read very well - right through to Romeo's first glimpse of Juliet at Capulet's mansion.
Any who missed the block should ensure they are caught up before next class.
