]]> Comment on Romeo and Juliet, Act I by Duane http://sheehy9.edublogs.org/2008/05/06/romeo-and-juliet-act-i/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Duane Tue, 06 May 2008 18:07:08 +0000 http://sheehy9.edublogs.org/2008/05/06/romeo-and-juliet-act-i/#comment-41 It's been a long time since I was a high school student, but I couldn't resist dropping in to say Thanks for providing your students with interesting and relevant assignments about Shakespeare! I never got to do stuff like this, all I ever got was "Memorize the balcony scene. Now, answer these 10 true/false questions and recite the definition of these 10 words...." That sort of boring stuff. I can assure you (and any students that might be listening) - the "how does it apply to your life" approach is far more fun!
