Romeo and Juliet - Act 3, Scene 1 - For Monday May 3!

In Quarter 4, we are going to be working closely with Act 3, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. You will be divided into groups for work on this scene that will involve learning the lines and performing the scene in class. Here are your groups and the roles for you to distribute among yourselves. (If an agreement cannot be reached among a group, I can assign the roles.) Though this scene is light on female roles, it can still be effectively played by girls. We will work closely with (including performance of) scenes with more female roles next year.

You will notice that for each pair of pages, the left page has lines in Shakespeare's own words where the right page has a directly corresponding set of lines in modern English. I am providing you with this format in order for you to better understand the scene. You are responsible for learning ONLY Shakespeare's words. (Sorry. Learning the modern English version might be easier, but that is not the version we are studying.) This means that we will be performing ONLY the even numbered pages (130, 132, 134, ... 144). Please have your lines learned by Monday, May 3.
