Objective: SWBAT identify TWO major events in Act 1 of "Romeo & Juliet" and describe how these events could potentially cause complications for the protagonists later in the play.
Do-Now: In the United States, the average ages for marriage are 26 for women and 28 for men. At what age do you believe a person should get married? Why do you believe this? Do you believe men and women should marry at different ages? Why or why not? What qualifies a person as "ready" to get married?
Today: 1) Review Act 1, Scene 1.
2) Read Act 1, Scenes 2-4. What major events occur in these scenes which may later cause complications for the play's protagonists, Romeo and Juliet?
3) Written Reflection: Juliet's father feels she might be too young to get married, whereas her mother wants her to get married NOW. Expanding upon your journal entry, respond to the following set of questions in a written reflection consisting of a MINIMUM of 15-20 sentences: At what age do YOU see yourself getting married? What are your reasons for waiting until this age? What qualities will you look for in a potential husband/wife? What age do you believe your parents want you to be married? Why? What qualities would THEY want your future husband/wife to have? What do you believe accounts for the similarities/differences between what YOU want and what your parents want FOR YOU?
Exit Slip: Describe TWO major events which occur in Act 1 of "Romeo & Juliet" which have the potential to cause complications for Romeo and Juliet later in the play.
