Romeo and Juliet Mini-Lesson PowerPoint- listen to the Power Point for the layout of the unit and directions for the week!
Make at least 2 observations in the Comments section of the film clip.
The right side lists the time elapsed in the film that correlates with the questions below. You can reply to any question below or make your own observation.
8:15 - I can see from the first few minutes of the film that the feud between the Capulets and Montagues has just reignited (figuratively and literally ;).
What do you think about the action packed opening?
19:47 - Shakespeare gives Mercutio, Benvolio, and Tybalt what they call TAG NAMES in literature, a character's name that symbolizes the definition of the word. For example the name Mercutio comes from the word mercurial, which can be defined as a person prone to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood. How does Mercutio's character appear mercurial in this scene?
29:29 - I feel really bad for Count Paris in this scene because he has no clue that he doesn't have a chance in the world with Juliet. He thinks she is smiling at him, when she is really smiling at Romeo :)
33:01 - Romeo and Juliet kiss without even knowing each other's name. This scene is the moment when they first learn they are from enemy households. Do you think the director did a good job capturing this moment in time?
