Friday, April 24th, 2015: English 8/9 (1)

Today students began by answering the following question in their journals:

Are teenagers capable of feeling true love?  Should they be restricted from such emotions?  Should teens be allowed to act upon and express romantic love/emotions? Why/why not?

Students then were given a Shakespearean Insult Kit, so that they were able to create insults.  We then spent some time insulting each other (in fun, of course).  Students recorded their favourite insults and bit their thumbs at each other!

We then read through the prologue and the first scene of Romeo and Juliet.  Students were asked to fill out a booklet, which will be handed in after each act and marked.  Please keep your books up to date!  If you were away, see me for a booklet.
