  1. Turn in your expository article questions to the tray. Any late essays or foil handouts need to get turned in as well! No! We had homework? Get out your notes packet! I want to check Act 1-3 pages.

  2. Masking the Truth • There are several characters in Romeo and Juliet that are presenting a façade to the world. They present an “outer” self that does not reveal their true “inner” self. • Create a mask for one of the following characters: • Romeo • Juliet • Friar Lawrence • Nurse

  3. Mask Instructions Outer Mask Side Inner Mask Side 2 symbols that represent the character’s true self, the side they keep hidden from most people. Be mindful of your color choices—choose ones with specific symbolic value. 2 quotes (with Act/scene numbers) that support your inferences. • 2 symbols that represent a personality trait or characteristic that the character presents as a front to the world. Be mindful of your color choices—choose ones with specific symbolic value. • 2 quotes (with Act/scene numbers) that support your inferences. Justifications: On the margins of BOTH sides of your mask, explain your symbolic choices. Why did you choose that object/symbol to represent your character trait? Explain the color symbolism of your mask. Also, why did you choose that specific mask design/shape?
