Last day, we reviewed the events of Act I, specifically focusing on the relationships that have developed thus far. We talked about the nature of Romeo and Juliet's relationship, whether we believe Romeo's and Juliet's parents to be supportive of them, and whether we consider Benvolio a good friend to Romeo or not.
I asked students to do a character analysis for either Romeo or Juliet, focusing on the events of Act I, where they were to select three lines/sections from the play to capture the essence of the character's mindset. Then, I asked students to consider the "modern mindset" of the character, and to create a text message that the character would likely send to describe what has happened to him/her so far.
Students will be given an opportunity to complete this assignment on Thursday in class.
