What do you mean modernize Shakespeare?

Today you will continue working on paraphrasing and translating your Shakespeare lines.  You need to have this complete no later than the end of class Friday.

Below is a video example from the original version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  This is how Shakespeare intended for it to be seen.

Watch the fight scene starting at 1:24 seconds.

Below is Baz Luhrmann's interpretation of this scene.  He's changed it to a more modern setting but kept the language the same.

Watch the fight scene starting at :34 seconds.

Which do you like better?  I"m guessing the second one.

This is what I'd like you to do with your scene.  Read through the lines and change them to how you think they would be said today.  In order to do this you must understand what is happening in your scene.  You may want to read through the whole thing first so you know what's  happening.

Once you are finished think about what type of setting you might see this scene happening in today? 

How would the relationships be portrayed?

4.  Discussion outline (green sheet with boxes).  Inspiration book = Relationship book.

If you finish all of these things these are your options:

1.  iRead

2.  Begin working on your Romeo and Juliet performance.  The first step of this is going to be to determine your group members and then ask Ms. Erickson for a yellow Romeo and Juliet packet to begin figuring out what scene you'd like to perform.

Bibliography

You must have your Inquiry Notes completely finished before you begin your bibliographies.

Today you need to work on your bibliographies.  Watch the video below on how to fill out a bibliography for an internet site.  I would recommend watching it once all they way through and then again when you are filling out yours.

You need to watch the video all the way through before you can ask a question.  Remember, each source needs it's own bibliography.  In order to score a 3 you need to share, in Google Docs, 3 bibliographies with me.

If you need to do a bibliography for a different source (print or primary) you'll want to use a different Google doc.  Those can be found here.
