Those Crazy Kids...Romeo and Juliet

The vast majority of you have extremely strong feelings about this pair of star-crossed lovebirds (swan, dove, crow, whatever!)...
Use this forum to ask questions, offer insights, or just share your favorite line from the play (of course, this line may be your favorite to mock!).
You should also comment on the characters' behaviors and actions (not just the title characters...all of them).

KEEP THE LAUGHTER GOING -- FAVORITE CLASSROOM MOMENT pt 3

For the last time.... :-(
It happens to everyone: words get jumbled between the brain and mouth, we enter into a conversation a moment too late... or we are simply confused. Ironically, these are the moments that help us remember the important information from class; laughter is a powerful learning tool. This is an opportunity to remember the special moments, lessons, activities, characters, and, of course, the miscommunications from our class. Help me to keep track of them and I will compile these into a booklet at the end of the year. Please remember that class rules apply: I will not tolerate any malicious attacks on any student or teacher. This is not meant to poke fun at anyone; it is meant in a spirit of reliving the occasional happy moment in our very special circle of hell :-)


Period 4 - PLEASE add some moments....it cannot all be so bad, can it?!?!  uh oh...

Romeo and Juliet...Meet Edward and Bella - TWILIGHT & Allusions

I give up! Since we seem to be connecting Twilight (and the rest of the series) to class curriculum every single day, let's be serious about it. Use this thread to:

* find thematic and characterization connections to the literature we cover in class


* compare Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. to the characters we have encountered this year.


* discuss the characters, themes, plot developments, and possibilities within the series itself.

*  locate possible allusions to Romeo and Juliet within the Twilight series

* compare the books to the films.


Did I miss anything?
