Week 27: Feb. 27 - Mar 2

9-weeks test

Tuesday - Friday
We will watch a movie production of the play we studied. Study will have the option to either watch the movie or study individually for another exam.

All students will need their own copy of our assigned AR book in class on Monday, March 5. Failure to have the book in class on that date will result in a zero daily grade.


Here is the exam schedule for this week.

Feb. 28 – Math, Foreign Language
March 1 – Science, Fine Arts, Science Skills, World Geography
March 2 – Social Studies, Government.

No vocabulary this week. All students need a copy of their AR book by Friday, March 2.

Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday
On these days students will study for our 9-weeks test, which will be Monday, February 27.


The 9-weeks test will be taken during a regular 50-minute class period. It will be a Scan-Tron test of roughly 100 questions (125 for the advanced class), covering both the background information (Life and Times) and the entire play that we read this term. I will give back old tests in class, but students may not take these tests home.

Romeo and Juliet, Act 3

For those of you screaming "Help!" here are a few useful tips.
I have organized the quotations by scene. Clicking the line below will take you to the "No Fear Shakespeare" page that contains the quote. Warning: I do not control the content on "No Fear Shakespeare." Some of it may not be appropriate. Also, this is just a bonus resource; it is not guaranteed to be correct.


Remember, you are responsible for telling me why the quote is important, not just what is being said (in addition to the speaker and audience, of course). I suggest that you go through your packet while you do this, paying attention to who all is on stage when these lines are spoken.



Act 3, scene 1
"No, 'tis not so deep as a well . . ."
"Mercutio's soul . . ."
"O, I am fortune's fool!"

Act 3, scene 3
"There is no world without Verona's walls!"

Act 3, scene 4
"Monday! Ha, ha!"

Act 3, scene 5
"It was the nightingale . . ."
"Night's candles are burnt out . . ."
"Methinks I see thee . . ."
"I'll send to one in Mantua . . ."
"Indeed I never shall be satisfied . . ."
"Well, thou has comforted me marvelous much."
