English 10: Romeo and Juliet

We read and discussed Act 1, 2, and 3 today. Be sure to get the notes. 

Read Act 1, Scene 3: Write down a key quote to encapsulate the Nurse, Juliet and Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet. Notice the cool (distant) relationship between Juliet and her mom. It's a very formal. But we also know that Juliet is close to her dad because in the last scene, he refuses to let Paris marry her because he thinks she is too young, even though he and Juliet's mom were married young. He wants to protect her from the hardships of life.

If you were absent: We read for 15 minutes, added two new words to our vocab. list. Reviewed the Section C assignment due Monday. Wrote copious notes (so get them from a friend).

Terms: oxymoron, motif, in medias res, heroic couplet, unrequited love, iambic pentametre (Get the notes).

BE SURE TO KEEP GOOD NOTES AS THE FINAL TEST IS AN OPEN NOTEBOOK TEST.
Know: Benvolio, Tybalt,Prince, Romeo, Juliet, All the parents, Verona's citizens, but also treat Love, Hate and the Feud as characters.

Due Monday: 600 word Section C response. If you have been absent, get the topics and notes from your homework buddy.
