Romeo & Juliet:The Prologue

The Lesson• In your notebook find a clean sheet of paper Write

“Prologue” at the top of your sheet of paper.• I want you to SURVEY the Prologue of Romeo &

Juliet (Literature Textbook pg. 1037). • In the text, you should look for illustrations,

photographs, bold or italicized print, charts, graphs, etc… that may provide you with clues as to what the prologue is about.

• On your sheet of paper, write 2 to 3 sentences predicting what you believe the prologue will be about (5 minutes). “I predict that this prologue is about…”First, what is a prologue?

• Next, select a partner!

• You AND your partner need to write TWO to THREE QUESTIONS that an individual may find the answer to within the text. (Write the questions as if you are creating an assignment for other students in the class.) (2-3 minutes)

• Next, you AND your partner need to join another partner team, creating a group of FOUR. The four of you need to take all of your questions and select one question to make into a PREDICTION about the prologue. The entire group needs to decide on ONE PREDICTION about the prologue and write it down.

• Watch as Mrs. Nelson copies down each of the groups’ predictions down.

• EVERYONE needs to copy down ALL of the predictions onto your sheet of paper as well!

• Now that we are finished reading, let’s all RESPOND to the reading.

• Listen as I read the predictions aloud to you. While I’m reading them, you need to be placing a + sign next to the predictions that were proved TRUE through the reading, a – next to the predictions that were proved FALSE, and a ? next to the predictions that the prologue did not clearly address (5 to 7 minutes).

• READ the prologue (independently, in partners, or as a group).

• Next, we are going to translate the prologue (5 minutes).
