After the presentations, your group will be outlining what happened in Act 4 and posting these to your blog.

Homework for next week: Read Act 5 and write a 1-sentence headline for each scene (note - there are very few scenes in Act 5).

First it starts with juliet wanting to kill herself and asking for a plan on how to get out of his marriage. While paris is trying to cheer Juliet up about the marriage being good. Friar Laurence feeling sorry for Juliet tells her the idea that she will fake her death by drinking a poison, then waking up in a tomb where Romeo will be waiting and then they'll run off to Mantua.
Juliet ends up doubting the plan after begging for forgiveness from her father who finally forgave her. She then after thinking about how happy she'll be drinks the vial and goes to sleep.
Nurse ends up screaming as she realizes the next morning that juliet's dead. Lord Capulet soon changes the wedding and everything into a funeral and feast. 
During the marradge Capulet and the friar starts fighting about not celebrating or singing to her death.

Objective: Students will be able to explain the meaning of the Lark and Nightingale metaphors/symbols in Act III.









Today we will discuss the Lark and the Nightingale symbols; why Lord Capulet decides to marry Juliet to Paris; why the nurse tells Juliet to marry Paris (and how this reinforces a dramatic foil).

Your group will then outline everything that happened in Act III.
Then - in groups - you will write a 2-3 sentences about the meaning of the Lark and Nightingale and how this relates to Romeo and Juliet.

First there is trouble between the Montigues and Capulets when a fight broke out between Tybalt and Mercutio. As the fight started Romeo kept on trying to break it up because he didn't want to kill his secret step brother. In a final attempt to stop the fight, but instead ends up letting Tybalt's sword killing Mercution. Out of rage Romeo then fights Tybalt and kills him also. As Romeo flees the scene the Prince and capulet show up. Out rage the prince banishes Romeo from Verona. 
Now Romeo is hiding from Prince in Friar Laurence's cellar. In confusion Romeo is sitting down balling, and the Friar is trying to think of a way to help him out. Finally having a plan the friar has decided to announce the secret marriage to both families while Romeo is gone. For now Romeo is off to spend the night with Juliet. 
As romeo leaves the next morning Lord Capulet Announced to Juliet that she will be marying the prince, but she refuses to. Out raged Capulet then forces her to the next day.


The nightengale refers to the moon and darkness in which Juliet is continually trying to tell romeo that its still out so the two of them can still be together. The Lark is the sun and Romeo is sad but has to leave when it appears forcing him to ditch Juliet.  Both are opposites of each other almost how Juliet and Romeo are acting  in the scene. 

Head lines 2

Murder in the peaceful streets of Verona
This just in two different family members found dead in the pleasant streets of Verona. we just retrieved the bodies of Tybalt from the Capulet family and Montrisur from the Montage family. It seems that both were sword fighting when one was wounded then died from his wounds. out of rage the kind romeo went into a rage and killed then fled the streets from cutting down Tybalt.

Plan of all Plans

We have info of a daring plan where the religious Friar Laurence has given Romeo a chance to live with Juliet forever, that involves running away then coming back after the news of the marriage two both families. We will have more info later.

"Join us today at Eharmony.com where we can find the perfect match for you."
When you hear these words you soon start to think that love is possible if you match the same info and hobbies as others. What about those who do match up? Even if they are to meet, would they soon love each other instantly? Or would one small annoyance or habit set the date in flames? I think that there is no true love at first sight, even for the luckiest, hottest, or saddest person out there. If you want to meet someone, the man or woman has to make the move. I believe in this fact due to one character who I saw in the movie Hitch. In this movie, instead of denying the fact that he will never find the one, the main character gets off his butt and goes to find someone whether it's in a bar or on a website. After setting others up with matches, he soon finds someone who he loves. Then he finally takes the risk on commiting all the way with her, and ends up living a pleasant life with her.
So I guess what I'm saying is that you could wait around and pray to God that someone will come along. Or you can get up, meet with different people, and possibly get rejected after have the worst date ever; but if you take the time and interest, maybe you'll find that one person.
