Language Arts 4-21-14

Today we wrote out four flashcards on literary techniques/devices --
       Paradox
       Aphorism
       Antithesis
       Pathetic Fallacy

We examined our grades/missing assignments and performance on our journals and Literature Collections.
Each team planned their arguments for guilt or innocence of Romeo, Juliet, the Nurse, Friar Laurence, Fate, the families, Friar John, the Prince, Tybalt.  Teams presented their cases to the class.   You choose -- who is most responsible for the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet?

Homework:
Princeton & Yale
   Write a formal letter to the Prince of Verona explaining who you feel is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.  You heard the evidence today, choose and defend your position with evidence from the play.
