As we have finished our study of Romeo and Juliet, we are now turning our attention to the fact that the themes that are found in the play (love, sacrifice, fate, etc.) are still extremely prevalent in our media today. This week we will be sampling several different types of media to prove this, including short stories, poems, and the movie Simon Birch.
Tomorrow, the Pre-AP classes will be taking a propaganda quiz, and on Thursday we will take our weekly "Word of the Day" quiz. So make sure not to let these sneak up on you!
AHSGE- Reading Review
In today's class, as well as tomorrow's, we will be going back over the topic of comparing and contrasting two different works. In order to do this, we will read through parts of Romeo and Juliet, ensuring that students understand the basic tenants of plot, setting, and characters in the play, and we will then move on to Simon Birch, a movie that has some striking similarities to Shakespeare's great work.
