Romeo and Juliet Likes and Dislikes

• Elements Sheet- this sheet had helpful definations of the elements. The quizzes were not fun though, they were too freguent.
  
• Packet from the Magazine about Shakespeare- interesting but slighty corny. My least favorite article was the one where the writier pretended to have an interview with Shakespeare.
  
• Reading sections of the play at home- I liked this assignment. It did not take a lot of time, it was simple and easy.
  
• Quizes on reading- most of the time this quizzes were good. If you did not read the night before then they could be very bad, but then that is your own fault.
  
• Translations- translating Shakespeare can be a little diffcult. I wasn't to crazy about those assignments.
  
• Getting parts from the play and reading as a class- I really did not like doing this. I did not have a part because I do not like reading out loud, but I also find it diffcult to pay attention when others are reading out loud.
  
• Giving examples of elements on the yellow pieces of paper- I liked doing this a lot. It was fun and we got to move around. It also helped us learn how to cite information for a play.
  
• Watching the movie- watching movies is always good. I liked the classic Romeo and Juliet that we watched. I think we get to watch the modern verison also. I am looking forward to that. Hopefully we can watch West Side Story also.
• Listening to the CD- I really enjoyed listening to the CD. It helped me understand the what was going on in the story better because I could hear how certain lines were said.
  

Haiku!

Always listening
music playing in my ears,
it is my soundtrack.

Emily is dumb.
Smile is one syllable, not
two, when will she learn.

Fridays are fun days
especially when Thursday
is your Friday fun.

Born without a name,
all over the newspapers
panda baby's life.

Tons of pain I feel,
running has become too hard.
Is my body done?

Waves crash towards shore
missing ocean more and more,
St. George will come next year.

Traveling the world,
each week a new place, how cool.
Wish I could be him.

Lucy is my love.
She is a retarded spaz,
slobermouth, no brain.

Sumi is so sweet,
every dog should be like her.
My big black fur ball.
