Homework due Monday 2/24 + Tuesday 2/25
NOTE: Bring your Pre-AP readers today and all next week.
Assignment 1 of 7:
Type up a final draft of your paraphrases for all of Romeo and Juliet Act 3 scene 1. Use the blank copy of the script uploaded to Google Classroom (Make sure it's the one that begins with Benvolio speaking the prologue. Make a copy of the document for yourself).
ONE person in your group needs to submit this final draft to Google Classroom the day of your performance (either Monday or Tuesday). It must be received BEFORE you present or else it will be downgraded to late credit only.
Before submitting to Google Classroom, check that all of the following are included:
1) Strong paraphrases for the prologue and lines 34-88
2) FOUR original asides (one per character, highlighted)
3) FOUR notes on the thoughts/feelings of a character (one per character, highlighted). Add these notes in parentheses before a character's dialogue. If this is unclear to you, ask during class or email me.
Assignment 2 of 7:
Practice saying your character's paraphrased lines so that you are ready for your performance. Any breaks in character, stumbling over the words, and long or awkward pauses will lower your individual performance grade.
Practice how you will perform your role in the scene. Think seriously about the following:
Where will you all will stand?
Who do you need to be looking at when you say specific lines?
What facial expressions, changes in volume/tone, hand gestures, etc. can you do to communicate what you're feeling?
For help, please review the clips posted to Google Classroom.
Assignment 3 of 7:
Select one in your group to turn in his/her annotated copy of the script as a grade for the group. This script should be readable (i.e., not messy or illegible) and annotations should include:
-Definitions of keywords
-Underlined keywords and/or phrases
-Notes on how to say a specific line (or act in a certain situation)
-Background information (why Tybalt is angry with Romeo, why Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt)
Assignment 4 of 7 (Period 1 ONLY):

If you choose to make the Hamlet paragraph your "pass/no pass" CEL, a typed final draft is all you will need to turn in at the end of the month.
