05.14 - Juliet (I.ii-iii)

At the beginning of the period we returned to yesterday's focus on Romeo and looked at the Likert ratings that people gave him in terms of his maturity and relationship partner worthiness (RPW). General feedback for these ratings are below. After getting a sense for where the class stood, people explained and discussed their ratings.

Maturity

2 - X X X
3 - X X X X X X X

Relationship Partner Worthiness (RPW)

2 - X X X
3 - X X X X
4 - X X X

X = individual ranking on the Likert scale
Numbers = Likert rating

Next, we looked at scenes ii and iii in Act I. I summarized the action of these themes and explained related background information. We then watched Act I scene iii the Zeffirelli-directed version (1968) paying particular attention to Juliet in terms of the maturity she exhibits and whether or not she seems like she would be a good relationship partner.

After watching this scene in the film, we brought this vision to reading the same scene in the play with a professional reading of the scene to accompany it.

Handouts:
Reading logs (this time focusing on Juliet)

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: 

 

Revisit Act I, scene iii with Juliet to gain a better understanding of her character. 

We will have time in class tomorrow to complete the reading log after we finish reading this scene.
