Figurative Language Review and R&J figurative language

How do you feel about the play Romeo and Juliet now that we have finished "reading" the play?

• It's alright

• I liked how we focused on what is going on in the play instead of having to read lines from the play.

• I liked the play and how we did the "reading". I want to see the movie.

• I didn't like the play but how we went through the play in class was good.

• I somewhat liked/didn't like the play but I wish we would have read the play out loud in class.
