As you read at home and we cover the material in class, how are you personally connecting with the characters and relationships in the play? Also, how much are you getting out of the reading?
1. Some of the concepts we are discussing in class this week include Romeo's personality, Juliet's personality, relationships between the two title characters and their parents, the escalation of the feud between the families, advice given to Romeo by his friends, and decisions the characters make. What are you thinking about these ideas as you read on your own or as we read in class? Write a thoughtful paragraph about something in the first few scenes in the play that you can personally connect with. Clearly explain the specific character or idea from the play and how you connect with it.
2. Also, remark on the effectiveness of reading at home and then covering the material in class. How are you doing with the reading on your own? How much are you able to decipher without help? Is it getting easier? Are you using other resources to help you read at home? If so, what are they and are they helping? The goal of reading aloud in class is to help you be able to get a deeper and more complete understanding of the text with the help of the teacher and your classmates. Do you feel that goal is being met for you? Write a paragraph about the effectiveness of both reading at home and in class.
Due Saturday, April 30.
