Due Wednesday, January 9th - Romeo & Juliet, Act I, Scenes ii & iii

Directions:  In small groups, assign roles and read Romeo & Juliet, Act I, scenes ii & iii.  Discuss what is being said.  Use the left hand margin as a guide.  Next, post a blog response, much like the last one we composed.  Include 1-2 major passages, and explain the meaning behind some of the major moments from the text.  How would you characterize Lord Capulet?  Paris?  How are Lady Capulet and the Nurse used as foils?  How does Dramatic Irony come into play in these two scenes?  Explore the possibilities.  Engage with each other.  Ask questions.  What would you like to discuss in class on Wednesday.  I look forward to your responses.
