Lesson plan for Monday, just in case....

Students need to get out their journals and prepare to take notes while you take attendance.

In order to better understand Shakespeare’s use of language, and how usage has changed, students need to take notes on some grammar rules and then apply those rules to a list of statements from the play Romeo and Juliet. 

Please place the Notes sheet under the document camera. You will not need the laptop today, so just leave it closed and have the paper on top of it. 

Students MUST write out the rules. They do NOT need to write out all the examples, but they will need to have a photo (phones can be used for this part) or a written copy of the word list at the bottom in order to successfully complete the assignment.

While they are taking the notes, pass out the worksheet practice. Each student must complete their own sheet. 

I do not want a transliteration—a word-for-word translation. I want them to update the meaning. For instance “Do not stir one foot to seek a foe” would be INCORRECTLY updated as “Do not move one foot to find an enemy.” We don’t talk that way. A better/more accurate update would be “Don’t you go looking for trouble” or “Don’t you go start a fight with our enemies.”

When they have completed the worksheet ALONE, they should turn and talk to the 4 closest students (making sure no student is left out!!) to compare answers or modify answers. If there is time, have students share the best answers from their groups with the class. They should TAPE the worksheet into their journal, on page next to their notes (tape is next to the door on the table).

In case you were absent on Thursday, your mini-essay (3-5 paragraphs) about whether love at first sight is possible or not was due in class.

Your syllabus acknowledgement slip is due by the 17th, but let's get them in sooner so it is out of the way. Be sure to share this site with your parents!!

We begin reading the play on Tuesday.
