05.13 - Romeo (I.i)

Today in class, we finished watching the street fight between the Capulets and the Montagues in the Baz Luhrmann film version of the play. We then went on to watch Romeo's conversation with Benvolio in the second half of Act I, scene i. Next, we picked up the play and read this section while listening to a professional audio recording of the scene. We paused the audio at the beginning of each page to look at the terms and discussion on the left side of the page.

When we had listened to Act I, scene i, everyone used the Romeo and Juliet reading log to analyze Romeo's character in terms of his maturity and relationship partner worthiness. At the end of class, everyone read the quote that they had selected as being the most significant to understanding Romeo's character. We will continue this discussion tomorrow.

Handouts:

Romeo and Juliet reading log (G&L version)

Romeo and Juliet reading log (E&R version)

Romeo and Juliet reading log (C&A version)

Romeo and Juliet reading log (GWD version)

The reading logs were based on the Likert scales that people created in class on Tuesday, 04.29. People can use whichever version they want; the one they created is just most likely to reflect their perspective on the two scales.

Homework: 

 

If you did not do so today in class, finish your reading log looking at Romeo (see reading logs above).
