Fourth Quarter Preview
We'll be reading Romeo and Juliet during fourth quarter. Spring break is a great time to get ahead since Shakespeare can be challenging. Here is link to an audio dramatization performed by different actors and produced by the BBC.
There are also a number of movies, graphic novels, and modern interpretations of the play that can be helpful to view before fourth quarter begins. Happy Reading!
