=Welcome to the Wiki for our //Romeo and Juliet// Project! =

1. Select a scene from Shakespeare’s //Romeo and Juliet//. The scene will need to utilize a number of different characters. Scene must be approved by Mrs. Ziegler.

2. Brainstorm possible modern scenarios that will engage today’s audiences.

3. Work through the original Shakespeare scene and translate the language to appeal to modern audiences. The modern language you use must befit the scenario you have selected.

Steps 1-3 must be completed by the end of the period on: Friday, April 1

4. After completing your scene translation, you can begin to assign parts. If there aren’t enough parts for everyone to have a role, people can work as director, etc.

5. You will need to plan your filming locations and pick out any props and costumes you will need. You MUST spend time rehearsing your scene. You will be expected to learn your lines.

Steps 4-5 must be completed by the end of the period on: Tuesday, April 5

6. Once your scene is prepared, you will film your scene. You will not need to film the scene as if it is a movie, but more as if you are performing a play.

Step 6 must be completed by the end of the period on: Thursday, April 7

7. Your group will edit the scene in iMovie and create a polished project ready for our Premiere Day. Remember, it is to be as if we are watching a play.

FINAL Project is due on Tuesday, April 12
