I have shown you the pictures of our live performances. The dressing up, sword fights, and dramatic deaths. The plays are such great fun. We act in class, and die on the mats that I have placed on the floors. Unfortunately, this year we will have to adapt to Corona. There can be no interacting. We will have to all perform virtually. You will be performing Act 5 Scene 3 lines 1-321 pages 219-243. Everyone must take a part. Some parts are very small, some are very large. Do what you are comfortable with. Basic participation will get you a 65.

If you want a higher grade, you must act, totally get into the part, turn your camera on, get dressed up, put on make up, use props. The project last quarter helped many of you pass.  Many of you struggle with tests. This is the great equalizer. Over the break, think about who you want to be. Think about the grade that you want to get.

I have kids with major anxiety and fear participate in this project. You can take one line, and dress up, and look the part. We will practice regularly in class once the parts are assigned.

The parts include:

Romeo
Paris
Juliet
Friar Lawrence
Benvolio
Lady Capulet
Capulet
Montague
Balthasar
Page
Prince
First Watch
Second Watch
Third Watch
