Objective: SWBAT create a modernized version of the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet."
Do-Now: Do you believe that Romeo and Juliet are truly in love? Why or why not? Explain.
Today: 1) Class will read the prologue for Act 2. What is Shakespeare reminding us of in this prologue?
2) Class will read Act 2, Scene 1. Where do Romeo's friends believe he has gone?
3) Class will read Act 2, Scene 2. What are Romeo and Juliet's plans?
4) 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.
