Last week our class was invited to join Ms. G.’s 9th grade English class, in the courtyard, as they acted out Act 3, the fight scene from Romeo and Juliet
. Here’s Ms. G. directing the scene, where Mercutio and Tybalt are about to fight when Romeo enters. Romeo and Benvolio try to stop the fight. Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo’s arm and leaves as Mercutio dies. Anyway, my students loved watching the scene unfold, especially the excitement of the sword fighting (aka: wrapping paper tubes) and enjoyed the opportunity to demonstrate their acting/dueling skills! Take a look…
We kept the fun going when we discovered a production of Romeo and Juliet on Musearts Cartoons, otherwise known as the Guinea Pig Theater. This video is just too funny, but at the same time it helped my students synthesis the main idea of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. So thank you, again, Ms. G., and your students, for including us in this activity- it was both educational and fun!
