ROMEO AND JULIET. Finally there!

We're now on to our next unit, ROMEO AND JULIET!

I've been thinking of ways of cutting down on my photocopying (to save trees!), so I'll experiment with this unit. For your perusal, most of the handouts will be posted on this blog.

Note: Answering the study questions—even in your head—will help you better understand what you are reading. I hate to suggest this, but if you skip doing the questions, I may have to have you write the answers (so that I know you are doing them).

B. Links:

Ok. Here goes my first attempt at uploading files to a blog using a website that embeds pdf's. The files open a bit slowly at first; therefore patience will be rewarded!

To save you time, I've also found character logs and scene logs prepared by my previous classes (not AP English level, but they should get you thinking). Here are all the scene links for Act 1. That's all I'll post now so I don't overwhelm you.

In addition, here are character logs for the main characters in the play, listed alphabetically:
