Please finish up the 17th century pick-up lines worksheet for Monday. If you are struggling with comprehension in class, you can access the play at http://shakespeare.mit.edu/romeo_juliet/full.html

Also, some students have purchased the No Fear Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet version of the play, which gives a modern translation of every line of the play. This is completely optional, but it may help if you are struggling with comprehension.

Have a great weekend!
