Comedy, Tragedy, History or just a plain old Problem‏

Today we discussed the difference between a comedy, tragedy, history or problem play.  We also signed off some plays, some steps and began the competition between the Montegues and the Capulets.  

Currently, the score is Capulets: 89 and Montegues: 73.  

***Congratulations for the first person to pass off the set piece from Romeo and Juliet: Zoe!***

That is a tough thing to accomplish!

Also, congratulations for the person to complete the first presentation for the year, Matthew!

I enjoyed the fashion catalog that you created from the Elizabethan times.

Next week, we have Archie presenting about the life of Queen Elizabeth.

ASSIGNMENTS: This week everyone must read Act 1: Scene 2-3 of Romeo and Juliet and complete the paper on:

"Are elderly people wiser than young people? Explain and give examples."
