After School Movie for Extra CrediT!

Permission Slip Required- Click HERE.

(Students who are not in Mrs. Huynh-Duc's class are NOT permitted to attend.)

In conclusion to our Romeo and Juliet unit, I will be showing the 1996 Baz Luhrmann adaptation “Romeo + Juliet” after school on Thursday, May 3, 2012. This film version is especially unique because it updates the classic play to a hip, modern setting while still retaining the original Shakespearean language.
This movie is rated PG-13 for “scenes of contemporary violence and some sensuality.”

For students who are able to stay and watch the film in its entirety from 4 until 6 p.m., I will provide a 200-point “bonus” to their grade (the equivalent of a “free” quiz grade).

If a student cannot stay but wishes to watch the film on his/her own, a supplemental handout is available by clicking HERE.

Supplemental handout (for students who cannot attend) will be due by Monday, May 14th for credit.
