Getting Ready for Romeo and Juliet

This week we're watching A Midsummer Night's Dream in class to acquaint you with Shakespeare's language. Based on this experience and your past, if any, experiences with Shakespeare, what do you anticipate as we begin Romeo and Juliet? What challenges will you encounter in reading and studying the play? What types of activities or assignments do you think will help you enjoy and understand the play?

Write two paragraphs for this post. The first paragraph should describe your experience with the film (Are you enjoying the story Shakespeare has created? Is it difficult to understand? etc.) and, if applicable, your past experiences with Shakespeare. Your second paragraph should describe your anticipated challenges in reading Shakespeare, what you think you will like about Romeo and Juliet and tell what type of activities you would like to be encounter in class.
