Objective: SWBAT describe how the minor characters, The Friar and the Nurse, act as catalysts to drive the action in the play forward.
Do-Now: Romeo and Juliet just met and they are already planning on getting married. How long do you think you should know someone before you marry them? Why?
Today: 1) Class will read Act 2, Scene 3. How does the Friar react to Romeo's change of heart?
2) Class will read Act 2, Scene 4. What warning does the Nurse give to Romeo?
3) The Letter: In the beginning of Act 2, Scene 4, Mercutio claims Tybalt has sent a letter to Romeo's house. What do you believe is written in this letter? Pretend you are Tybalt and compose a letter to Romeo. Remember, Tybalt claimed he would seek revenge on Romeo after the party. What things might he say/threaten to Romeo? What might be his reasons for being upset with Romeo? Once you have finished, exchange your letter with a classmate. Next, pretend you are Romeo reading your classmate's letter (from Tybalt) and write a response.
Exit Slip: What do both the Friar and the Nurse do to help move Romeo and Juliet's relationship forward? Would Romeo and Juliet be able to accomplish their marriage without the help of these two characters? Explain.
