Lesson 73

 

 Today's lesson was varried, to say the least.

We talked about the controversy surrounding Zeferelli's film (and the fact that I no longer show it)

We looked at how R&J can be used to build community after genocide.

We had a gander at Juliet's balcony in Verona.

We discussed sonnet form, rhyming couplets, iambic pentameter, allusion, imagery, and the racism of certain imagery from the work. 

After a brief review, students read very well - right through to: (Act 1, Scene 4 for BLK 6) (Act 1, Scene 5, 30 for BLK 5).

Any who missed the block should ensure they are caught up before next class.
