1. Freewrite.
2. Work pass backs and library card applications. If student do not have their own library cards, we have arranges for someone from the York PL to come in and set them up! Students need parent signatures to get cards. Cards can not only help you check out books, but can get you access to high quality research databases unavailable through YCSD alone.

HW: none

1. Turn in song revisions.
2. Balcony scene watching.
3. Love or Lust? Students analyzed one line from II.ii to determine whether it showed love or lust. They wrote a paragraph proving their point and then we did a physical poll to see whether Romeo or Juliet was more loving/lustful.
HW: finish reading all of Act II for Monday.
4A
1. ACE-IT on love or lust. Each student chose a quote from II.ii. They then analyzed the quote to see whether it showed love or lust. We wrote paragraphs proving our points. These we collected for a grade.
