Lesson 73

 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.

Lesson 82

We read through two key scenes - III. v. and IIII. i. and then continued viewing the film. Our last block will be a viewing/celebration part...
