Warm –up – A4 pad – write the quote, answer the question
“There is no world without Verona’s walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself” (Romeo)
Do you consider yourself an optimist (always look on the bright side of life) or a pessimist (everything is bad)?
Which is easier? Which is healthier?

2. Notes – note it down
In the chapel, where Romeo is hiding, Friar Laurence informs the boy about his punishment, adding that he should be happy that the Prince commuted the death sentence. Romeo considers banishment a fate worse than death, since it will separate him from his beloved Juliet. When the Friar tries to console him, Romeo says, "Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love.../ Then mightst thou speak" ( ).
Readers – check over your lines. Everyone else, look over the questions to see what your looking for during the reading.

3. Notes
The Nurse arrives to find Romeo collapsed on the ground, weeping. She orders him to stand, but he is so upset that he prepares to stab himself. She snatches away his dagger, and Friar Laurence begs Romeo to look at the bright side - at least he and Juliet are both still alive. The Friar then convinces Romeo to visit Juliet that night, and to escape to Mantua in the morning.
