Movie Version- 1968 Yes, I know it’s old… but Romeo is pretty fine, and so is Tybalt (Mercutio…eh.) It is also one of the best adaptations that follows the text. 1996 is cool, but super confusing 2013 is super pretty, but changes everything from plot, to lines, to characters We will be using/watching other versions as well, but remember, this will be the main one we’ll pull from If you are ABSENT during any of the viewings, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to catch up by READING the text and/or sparknotes/summaries, or WATCHING these scenes elsewhere. Being absent is not an excuse for not doing. For assignments that are heavy handed on viewing, you are expected to attend the NEXT tutoring date (PM) for a second viewing. After school buses are available.
