Objective: SWBAT characterize Romeo and Juliet based on their interaction during the balcony scene.
Do-Now: Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? Do you believe it's possible for Romeo to now be in love with Juliet, even though he was in love with Rosaline just minutes before? Explain.
Today: 1) Class will examine the Prologue for Act 2. What are we reminded of in this prologue?
2) Class will read Act 2, Scenes 1 and 2. Why is Juliet skeptical about Romeo's love for her? Why do the two of them of them wish to get married even though they just met?
3) Balcony Scene Reboot: Pretend Romeo and Juliet met at a party in today and decided to exchange cell phone numbers. Instead of visiting Juliet's balcony, Romeo decides to profess his love to Juliet and ask her to marry him via text. Re-write the balcony scene using text messages between Romeo and Juliet. Your scene should be at least two pages long and can be written similar to a play with each character's name written before his/her text and a space in between each separate text. Keep in mind that text messages are usually short and limited to about 150 characters. Feel free to use modern language, abbreviations and emoticons.
Exit Slip: Describe Romeo and Juliet based on their actions/dialogue during the balcony scene. What does this scene reveal about each of their characters?
