The Play is the Thing!

After a riveting discussion on why the STAR testing is important, students were given their next assignment. They are to take the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet and rewrite it in their own version using contemporary knowledge. This is the assignment:

Rewrite the balcony scene in contemporary English. Have fun with it, but keep it school appropriate. Include the moments below in this order:

1. Romeo hiding/ Juliet’s arrival.
2. Romeo compares Juliet to the sun (or something).
3. What’s in a name?
4. Romeo reveals himself.
5. The danger to Romeo and how he got there.
6. Juliet’s embarrassment.
7. Swearing by the moon (or something).
8. Exchange of vows.
9. Multiple exits and proposal.
10.Final exit.

This will be due Wednesday.
