Drama~5
Today we played two drama games....REPEAT & Zip, Zap, Zop. Me and Mariah were like the Kings at Zip, Zap, Zop, only were girls so we'd be the queens at it, but kings sounded better. Repeat was fun, except that some people were not so into it and made it not so fun.

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England.
Shakespeare was born on April 23rd, 1564. Shakespeare died on his birthday.
Yes, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, in December 1582. They had three children; Susanne and twins Hamnet (lost to the plague) and Judith.
London England. It was like a coliseum.
Because it was a theater and Shakespeare wrote plays.
Overview Of Romeo and Juliet
In the streets of Verona another brawl breaks out between the servants of the feuding noble families of Capulet and Montague. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the fighting, but is himself embroiled when the rash Capulet, Tybalt, arrives on the scene. After citizens outraged by the constant violence beat back the warring factions, Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, attempts to prevent any further conflicts between the families by decreeing death for any individual who disturbs the peace in the future.
Romeo, the son of Montague, runs into his cousin Benvolio, who had earlier seen Romeo moping in a grove of sycamores. After some prodding by Benvolio, Romeo confides that he is in love with Rosaline, a woman who does not return his affections. Benvolio counsels him to forget this woman and find another, more beautiful one, but Romeo remains despondent.
Meanwhile, Paris, a kinsman of the Prince, seeks Juliet’s hand in marriage. Her father Capulet, though happy at the match, asks Paris to wait two years, since Juliet is not yet even fourteen. Capulet dispatches a servant with a list of people to invite to a masquerade and feast he traditionally holds. He invites Paris to the feast, hoping that Paris will begin to win Juliet’s heart.
Romeo and Benvolio, still discussing Rosaline, encounter the Capulet servant bearing the list of invitations. Benvolio suggests that they attend, since that will allow Romeo to compare his beloved to other beautiful women of Verona. Romeo agrees to go with Benvolio to the feast, but only because Rosaline, whose name he reads on the list, will be there.
In Capulet’s household, young Juliet talks with her mother, Lady Capulet, and her nurse about the possibility of marrying Paris. Juliet has not yet considered marriage, but agrees to look at Paris during the feast to see if she thinks she could fall in love with him.
The feast begins. A melancholy Romeo follows Benvolio and their witty friend Mercutio to Capulet’s house. Once inside, Romeo sees Juliet from a distance and instantly falls in love with her; he forgets about Rosaline completely. As Romeo watches Juliet, entranced, a young Capulet, Tybalt, recognizes him, and is enraged that a Montague would sneak into a Capulet feast. He prepares to attack, but Capulet holds him back. Soon, Romeo speaks to Juliet, and the two experience a profound attraction. They kiss, not even knowing each other’s names. When he finds out from Juliet’s nurse that she is the daughter of Capulet—his family’s enemy—he becomes distraught. When Juliet learns that the young man she has just kissed is the son of Montague, she grows equally upset.
As Mercutio and Benvolio leave the Capulet estate, Romeo leaps over the orchard wall into the garden, unable to leave Juliet behind. From his hiding place, he sees Juliet in a window above the orchard and hears her speak his name. He calls out to her, and they exchange vows of love.
Romeo hurries to see his friend and confessor Friar Lawrence, who, though shocked at the sudden turn of Romeo’s heart, agrees to marry the young lovers in secret since he sees in their love the possibility of ending the age-old feud between Capulet and Montague. The following day, Romeo and Juliet meet at Friar Lawrence’s cell and are married. The Nurse, who is privy to the secret, procures a ladder, which Romeo will use to climb into Juliet’s window for their wedding night.

What is poetry?
Poetry to me is a way to to express your feelings without being cruel. You can say just a sentence, which explains a whole paragraph. It can be in so many diffrent forms to. It can be about whatever..Love, Heartbreak, Friends,etc. Butto me its one of few of the ways I can escape and do whatever I want to do.

Poetry Connection Duuudzze
I read The Eagle. This poem seems to symbalize a powerful creature, but even though he so powerful and strong, he still has weaknesses.
"Close to the sun in the lonely lands"
This poem seems to represent most every person, they may very strong in certain areas, but some areas they may fall into some very weak catigories in which other people may be strong in. But in other context, this story may symbalize that people that may be great leaders can be seperated from the croud and thought of below the rest of the croud.
