Romeo and Juliet: Film Comparison! Today, we’re going to watch two film versions of Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet. The first film is a more traditional version of the play, while the second version we’re watch is a more modern version. As we watch, you’re going to fill out a Venn diagram comparing the two versions of the play. At the end of class, it will be your job to write a short response (5+ sentences) about which version you like better and why. Remember, character journals are due today. If you did not finish yours on Friday or over the weekend, you may need to sneakily work on them while we watch the film! 
