Day 7 R&J

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
On the fore-finger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep.

Do Now: Please read the two excerpts about imagination and talk to your group about them. Make at least one connection to your life and/or Romeo and Juliet.

Today's Learning Target(s): 
I will be able to recognize and apply some reading strategies to use with Romeo and Juliet.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can select an appropriate reading strategy to help better understand a confusing passage from I.iv.
-I can think about what strategies I already use and which ones I should add to my "toolbox" of reading strategies.

Agenda:

1. literary devices
2. I.iv
3. film adaptation
4. Exit Ticket:If the nurse's lengthy speech in I.iii revealed her gift of gab and warm feelings towards Juliet, what then does Mercutio's Queen Mab speech suggest about his character? 

HW: read I.v and look for one of the following 1) a line from which you can infer what a character wants, 2) a line in which you recognize a literary device and explain what it emphasizes, or 3) a line that is either enjoyable or confusing and why. Include the line/explanation on the blog.  http://reynoldsrandj.blogspot.com/
