Romeo and Juliet

We will be viewing, reading, and listening to Romeo and Juliet over the next couple of weeks.  I will be giving you a log entry assignment this week to think about as we are starting Romeo and Juliet.   The due date will be determined once we have finished the play. 

May is the month of many trips for some 9th grade students.  Please remember you are responsible for any work you miss in class.  If you miss a day of the film, you will need to borrow the play and read the scenes you have missed.  I would appreciate you reminding me a day in advance when you will be out of class due to a trip. 

Finish out your 9th grade year on a positive note...work hard...stay focused...and enjoy.  It has been a great year! 

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

End Test on A Doll's House will take place on Monday, May 6.
