"A book, too, can be a star, 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,' a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe." - from Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal Acceptance Speech

Dreams in Romeo and Juliet

Notebook reflection:
  • Describe a vivid dream that you have had. How did it make you feel? What did it make you think?
  • In the play, Romeo has a dream that he thinks is a premonition of something that is going to happen in his life. Do you think it is possible that our dreams can foretell the future?

In-class activity:

  • What is happening in this scene? What is the setting? What do you know about the characters?
  • Complete worksheet on 1.4.
  • Conclusion: Write a paragraph about how Romeo and Mercutio's attitudes about love and/or dreams are similar or different to your own. 
  • HW: Finish worksheet if not finished in class. Read and take notes on Act 2 Prologue + Scenes 1 and 2 for Friday.
