Block 3: Rush to Marry - Comment with your Paragraph (3/30)

Rush to Marry

Why are Romeo and Juliet in such a rush to get married right when they meet?

Answer this question with a TIQA paragraph.  Your textual evidence can come from any point in the text.  Once you have typed your paragraph, copy and paste it as a comment to this post.

Example: Romeo and Juliet are in a rush to get married because that is what people had to do in this culture at this time.  When talking to Juliet about marriage, Lady Capulet says, “ Younger than you,/ Here in Verona, ladies of esteem,/ Are made already mothers” (I, iii, 70-72). Lady Capulet is telling Juliet that other girls in their society are already married and having children, demonstrating the cultural necessity of marriage.  She also guilts Juliet a little by telling her that the people are younger than her, meaning that she should get going with finding someone to marry.

Remember, the Analysis portion of your paragraph explains why and how your evidence proves your topic sentence.  The goal of your sentence: HOW and WHY EXACTLY your quote proves the reason for rushing into marriage.

Wednesday, March 30 Agenda

}  Bell Ringer: Review notes from yesterday, and discuss with partner: Why are Romeo and Juliet in such a rush to get married? Share with class.

◦       Pick one of the reasons for Romeo and Juliet to rush to get married on your own (from the board) and use specific details from the play (textual evidence) to support your opinion in a TIQA paragraph- write the paragraph alone and post it to the entry on my blog

}  Continue thinking of the “Why” behind the directors’ choices while you take notes

◦       What is the effect of the choices? What would the director want to be saying, implying?
