We started today's class by working with the set 16 roots and prefixes and by working on the "Exploring Shakespeare through Star Wars" assignment (completion and revisions). Feedback for the "Exploring Shakespeare through Star Wars" work was as follows:

Next, we returned to our work with Romeo and Juliet and watched the rest of Act I, scene i in the Baz Luhrmann version of the play (as a movie).  We then looked at this section of the play in our text copies of the play while listening to a Libravox recording of the play. We will continue with this work tomorrow. While listening to and following along with the recording of the play, everyone was asked to keep the following questions in mind:

1 - What does this show us about the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets?

2 - Which version of the play-as-movie (1960 Zeferelli or 1996 Baz Luhrmann) best captures the spirit of this conflict?

3 - What is Romeo upset about?

4 - What is your first impression of Romeo?
