We spent time last class talking about our parents' views on dating. Students have very different experiences with this... some have never discussed it with their parents, and some have discussed (debated?) it extensively!
Then, we looked at select quotations from Act I scenes ii and iii, which address Juliet's parents' views on marriage. Students were asked to match the quotations with questions, and then were asked to try to figure out why each quotation was significant.
We ended class by discussing exactly how Benvolio and Romeo are going to "crash" the Capulet feast. Thank goodness for illiterate servants....
