WU: Shakespeare

What do you know about Shakespeare as an author and as an individual? What do you know about //Romeo and Juliet// or any of his other writings?

Power Point: Progression from Old English to Shakespeare's Writing (AKA, how to never refer to Shakespeare as Old English again...)

We went through slide 11

Language handout: use this cheat sheet to help with some Shakespearean language

Prologue Pair Practice: print off a copy of the prologue to //Romeo and Juliet//

1) Mark up any instance where he creates a pair, or references "two" of something. 2) Underneath the prologue, make a list of the reasons why he created so many examples of pairs? What is he trying to show us as readers? 3) After reading and marking up the prologue, make a pair of predictions about what will happen in //Romeo and Juliet//. Sorry, we know they both die at the end, so that one is off the table.

HW: Finish Prologue Pair Practice for Monday
