First thing to do tonight is to visit your favourite book website such as goodreads.com or shelfari or amazon.ca or 49thshelf etc
to read more about your top three books which you chose from the list that Antonia and Abby prepared for you.
Next.
Write down the titles and authors and write a short paragraph to explain why you are looking forward to each book. Choose your top three.
Once that is complete, read scene 3. A short scene between Juliet, the nurse and Lady Capulet.
We haven't yet seen Juliet on stage and count the number of lines she gets. Why does Shakespeare do so? What do we learn about her in this scene?
Compare and contrast the nurse to her mother. Who is closer to Juliet, why?
The nurse is lower class, how can you tell?
Who speaks in iambic pentametre in this scene? Who does not?
If you find it hard to read, google No Fear Shakespeare and it will translate it for you. You can also read the side notes on the left and the footnotes on the right side.
Enjoy. It's funny. We'll watch it tomorrow but if you have read it you will be prepared for our SURPRISE quiz. OOps. Did I say that outloud?
Darn.
