We read Act IV, scenes ii-iv in Romeo and Juliet.  They answered the related questions in their packets.

Today we finished reading Act 3 and viewed Act 3 while taking video notes.  We then went over answers for the Act 2 packets and Acts 1 and 2 quizzes.  At the end of class, students worked with a partner to find two examples of foreshadowing from the play that give us clues about how Romeo and Juliet die.  Students are then to respond to the journal entry in the PowerPoint below.
