Today, you're going to work on finishing what you need to turn in for the Night Unit and then working on TED Talk Tuesday.

Today, you're going to work on finishing Romeo and Juliet. Many of you have a copy of the graphic novel at home, but if you do not, here is a PDF of the play (read the "Modern Text" on the odd numbered pages).

    3. Pick ONE of the prompts and write a three paragraph response

    4. Upload response to turnitin.com
      • Email me or send me a Remind message if you face any difficulties turning in your response

PDF of Night
