What was added to your understanding by acting/directing act 1 scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet? I understood it better because im more of a visual learner, so by people acting the play I learned more. I understood better the emotions the characters were trying to transmit and I also had a better understanding about what the scene was about.

PMS jokes aren't funny, period.

I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me.

I used to be a doctor, but then I lost patients.

The best way to communicate with a fish is to drop them a line.

Digital Citizenship

     To be a good digital citizen you have to follow the 9 themes of digital citizenship. Also if you have a child it would be  a good thing if you made them sign the Kids' Pledge. One of the post important themes of the 9 themes for me is the one that says "I will treat others the way that I wish to be treated when using technology. I will keep in mind that my technology use affects others." I think that its important that if we don't want to get cyber bullied we shouldn't do that to others. It's important that we all commit to this so we can have a safe environment when we use technology.

Monday's homework:

1. Who was the best insulter? Who has more vivid insults, Shakespeare's era or our own? Why? The best insulter in my opinion was elena, because she put a lot of feeling into her work and she also used body language. I think we have better insults then in Shakespeare because our insults are easier to pronounce and they are more hurtful. 
2. How can something like that, which is fun, devolve into something much more serious? Maybe if we lived in that age and knew the meaning of all those words we would take it more seriously and maybe be insulted by those words.

Questions about Romeo and Juliet:

• Did Romeo and Juliet ever tried to tell their families about their love?
• Weren't they too young to actually know what real love is?
