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: The Friar and the Nurse are both helping Romeo and Juliet marry behind their parents' backs. Romeo and Juliet are young (and stupid) and their actions can be justified by their immaturity. However, the Friar and Nurse are grown adults. Why are they allowing Romeo and Juliet to marry, even though they are old enough (and mature enough) to know it's wrong? What does this show you about the Friar and the Nurse?
Today: 1) Class will read Act 2, Scene 5 and Act 2, Scene 6. How do the Friar and the Nurse further serve to drive the action of the play forward?
Exit Slip: How are the Nurse and the Friar helping to move the action in the play along? Do you believe Romeo and Juliet would have been able to successfully communicate with each other and marry each other had it not been for these two minor characters?
