Romeo and JulietAct 3 Scene 1 Questions
**** You may work together with the same groups you’ve been filming with recently. Each person should still turn in a worksheet, but you can work to read and answer together. I do want you to list the names of everyone in your group on your paper – write your own name first, then the names of your group members. I want you try your best on this, but DO NOT just look up the answers in google. Remember, when you work together on this, you can figure it out!! It’s okay if there are some you can’t find; we will review them together when I return.****
