English 10

Two classrooms, both alike in dignity
(In fair Courtenay, where we lay our scene)
From ancient textbook, break to new understanding
Where civil..........

OK, we are looking at Romeo and Juliet. Firstly, we want to crack some of this iambic code—enought to understand the basic elements of the plot. Secondly, we are comparing two versions of this play in movie form. The first viewing, which we play in conjunction with reading the text, is directed Franco Zeffirelli. We will then view the Baz Luhrmann's version with the hunky Leonardo Dicaprio. After comparing both versions, we will write a synthesis essay and continue to work on our projects.

Student projects are due on June the 7th.
