Tuesday 4/28/09
Today in Sister Salma's English class, we went over two things;first we switched our paper's with a partner, and checked our
Romeo and Juliet study guide questions for both scenes three and four. Then we continued our discussion as a class about Literary Devices. These included:
1.Oxymoron: the pairing of two opposites.
2. Comic relief: including a humerous character/scene to lighted up the mood of the story/play.
3. Foreshadow: a clue "hint" to what may happen next in the play/story.
4. Metaphor: a comparison between two things without using like/as.
5. Aside: a character speaking to himself or to another character "on the side".
We didnt have the chance to begin scene 5,because the class was cut short due to the earlier assembly.

Agenda:
1. Continue discussion on literary devices.
2. Review Romeo and Juliet study guide questions.
3. Begin scene 5.

hw: 1. Continue reading scene 5 and answer Romeo and Juliet study guide questions.
2. Vocab ex 3.
