Film Clip Act 1 Scene 1
To ease us into the reading of Shakespeare, I encourage you to watch the clip before reading the corresponding scene(s) in Romeo and Juliet. Watching the film clips is option, but after all, Shakespeare's plays were meant to be seen!Nonetheless, we are also studying this play as literature, so make sure you read it, too. Assessments will expect you to know the text, and Discussion Boards will expect you to utilize the text.
This clip includes the Prologue and most, but not all, of Act 1, Scene 1.
And this short little clip shows you what is going on at the beginning of the play. We don't understand that they are insulting each other (giving each other the finger!), but they are!
