Holiday Project

All classes:
You are the director of "Romeo and Juliet!"

Create a prompt book for Act 2, scene 1 of "Romeo and Juliet." Rewrite the lines out of the book onto a different set of pages (you may download and print the lines if you wish). Write in how the set should be dressed (what the scene should look like), from where the actors should enter and exit, what props will be used, what costumes will be worn, and include an annotated sketch of the scene (you may use a downloaded picture or collage, but you must label the picture thoughtfully, including where your actors will stand, and why various items are on stage).
Due on January 2.

Reread any sections of Act 1 of "Romeo and Juliet" that you found difficult.

Read through Act 2, scene 4 of "Romeo and Juliet" by January 2. This will include the famous "balcony scene," Act 2, scene 2.
