Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
In class we will read the text together. Ol' Shakes is a bit tricky to get on the first try, so I will try to break it down for you into a language you can understand -- BUT, don't get too comfortable, you will have to translate some of it on your own!
In order for you to get the visuals, we will take a look at bits of Baz Luhrmann's movie. Seeing the emotion and the passion of the characters is incredibly important. Romeo and Juliet is not just a love story, but it's a story of revenge, regret, growing up and dealing with many issues that teens have to face.

DRAMA notes:
ROMEO AND JULIET
Dramatic Irony~
When the audience knows something the characters don't.
Watch the final scene of Romeo and Juliet...what do we know that Romeo didn't know?
Character Foil:
Benvolio and Tybalt are FOILS!
Peace and Violence
They are opposites!
Tragic Flaw - A personality trait that leads the character to his doom! Romeo is in love with love...Spoiler...This fact (along with several bad choices) aids in killing him.

Romiette and Julio
by Sharon Draper
Romiette and Julio is a fantastic book written about an African American girl named Romiette and a Hispanic boy named Julio. Although the story differs from the play in several ways, a lot of the same lessons and issues from the original Romeo and Juliet are brought up.
Romiette and Julio Journal
Romi and Julio got up on the table and started dancing when the Devildogs were intimidating them. Did Romi and Julio react to the gang in a positive way? What would be an appropriate way to react to people who are intimidating you?
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS!!!!
• What does Ben mean when he says , “[The Devildogs] have
no poetry—they have no individuality. They’re just parts of a large,dirty organism, like that alien monster thing in that Star Trek movie—unthinking, but very, very dangerous”?
• In Chapter 29, Romiette speaks with Malaka. Were your predictions about Malaka correct? Explain by pointing out details that prove your prediction was correct.
• In Chapter 32, Julio and his father get into an argument over Julio’s relationship with Romiette. LIST the points that each of them raise during the argument, without taking either character’s side. Do they both have good points? Why or why not?
Compare and Contrast!
The Capels vs. The Montegues
What is the same, what is different?
