Class started out pretty normal today by quickly going over homework. Don't forgot about the Wikified Research Conferences! Also be prepared to turn in your grammar worksheet and take the test tomorrow. Smith did tell us that we will probably be taking the Act 3 quiz as well.
It's Thursday so we went over punctuation, capitalization, and diagramming for our DOL.

We then went on to watch the tableaux vivants on Romeo and Juliet Act 3 Scene 1. Everyone did really well recreating the scenes! Shortly after that we jumped right into the reading. We managed to read both scene one and scene two.
Major happenings in Act 3 Scene 1: Mercutio is slain by Tybalt after a series of insults and conflicting opinions. When Romeo seeks revenge, Tybalt is killed as well. The Prince banishes Romeo from Verona after the brawl.
Major happenings in Act 3 Scene 2: Juliet waits for news from the Nurse. The nurse comes and tells Juliet that Tybalt has been killed. Juliet mistakenly believes that Romeo has been killed. Once she learns that it is Tybalt that has been killed, she is happier, but only until she learns that Romeo has been banished from Verona for killing Tybalt. The Nurse informs Juliet that Romeo is hidden at Friar Laurence's cell.
