There is extra credit for those that memorize their lines and/or dress in costume for his or her character. As a class, you will evaluate your peers performances and offer suggestions for future performances. We will end our week with a discussion of whether or not Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet should be included in a 9th grade curriculum?
