Romeo and Juliet

We will be starting to read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The play will take 3 weeks to read due to the block testing schedule for AIR. Students will be expected to complete a study guide (with my assistance) upon discussion of each scene and act of the play. Once we have finished the reading, the students will be assigned a group and will complete a project involving the character and plot of the play.

NOTE: A large portion of the final exam will cover Romeo and Juliet material.
