Blog#6- Tweets

Welcome to the world of Twitter! This week, each of you must select five characters from Romeo and Juliet and send a Tweet as that person. There are some guidelines:


  1. You can only use 140 characters/letters to express your thought. You must be concise and brief!
  2. You must Tweet something that the character would be thinking or feeling; do not retell what happened (no plot summary)
  3. You must use five different characters

Your Tweets should look something like this:

“I’ve found the girl for me! No more pouting in the woods.” #Romeo


“So happy my dad threw that party last night; first kiss, and it was a good one!” #Juliet


Good luck, and have fun!

Blog #5- Shakespeare Translation

For this week’s blog, I want you to select 10 consecutive lines from Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet to translate. You must first put the 10 lines that you are translating from the play down in italics in your response and then follow it with your translation. For example:


Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break now new mutiny…..


Two equally wealthy households

In Verona, where the story is,

From an old argument now a new fight occurs….


Good luck, and you may use any tool to help you.
