The Perfect Mate
This is your first blog assignment. This week, please use this space to discuss the results of "The Perfect Mate" assignment. Were the qualities of the perfect mate that your parents specified the same as those you identified? Or were your ideas about the perfect mate totally different from those of your parents?

Friar Lawrence
Hi Guys!
I hope you are enjoying the snow!
THe two repsonses to this post will not be due until Monday, 2/22. I don't think we are going to see each other at all this week...
So, here it is:
In Act II, scene iii, Friar Lawrence says that "vice sometimes by action dignified," meaning that vice may, in special circumstances, be used for good. This is similar to "the ends justifies the means." What do you think of this idea? Can bad actions be used for good? If they can be, should they be?
Bonus - What action of the Friar's does this line forshadow?
Respond using at least three sentences to this post. Later, respond using three sentences to a classmate's post on this same issue. Both posts must be completed by Monday, February 22.

Welcome
Welcome students! As we read "Romeo and Juliet" I will post quotations and questions for you to think about and respond to here on this blog. My expectation is that you will post 2 entries per week - one response to my quotation or question, and the other response to a classmate. Your posts should be at least three sentences and must demonstrate a high level of thinking/understanding. While I want this blog to be fun, please remember that this is a school assignment so no inappropriate content. You can earn up to 3 points per post - 3 for a high level, thoughtful response which provides strong insight, 2 for a response which provides some insight, and 1 for a response which provides limited or little insight. I will post to this blog on Mondays. You will have until the following Monday to respond with your 2 posts. A good schedule might be to post your response to me on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday and then post your response to a classmate on Thursday or Friday. Just a suggestion! Bookmark this site on your home computer for faster access. :) Please let me know if you have any questions!
