Final Project

FINAL EXAM:
Test on Romeo and Juliet
You will also pass off your 25 words if you don't do so Tuesday
Students will present their extra credit projects. FUN!!

****************************************************************

Each one of you must memorize 25 words of Romeo and Juliet. You will have to write it these lines from memory on Tuesday the 21st, our last day of class before finals start.

To earn extra credit, you need to perform your lines for the class, either in a video that you film or a short scene from the play that you act out in front of the class.

The grade for this assignment is subjective and top projects will raise your grade one full grade (B to A, etc.). Usually only about 1/4 of the movies or classroom performances are good enough to earn a full grade of extra credit. 

Here's what you'd see in a very good video or performance:

Lines are flawlessly memorized

Lines are delivered with feeling and acting

Costumes and props are used

If filmed, editing is done and credits are added (sometimes subtitles, too).

Note: we will not have enough time for bloopers.
