We will answer point of view questions about

groups of characters.

We will discuss our ideas, reactions and
questions about the play by talking about
the questions we wrote.

3. Warm Up: Whose point of view?
What is point of view?
Point of view:
Each of the sentences does not appear in
the play...
but, if they did, who would say them?
use each character 2 times: Romeo, Juliet,
Paris, Friar Lawrence, Lord Capulet.
When you finish, work with a partner to
write more point of view sentences on the
back.

5. Relationships between
characters
We will get into small groups of 2-3.
You will be given a list of 4 characters and a
list of different “relationships” - ways the
characters might be connected.
Your group needs to decide:
Which character doesn’t belong with the other 3.
What the relationship is between the 3 remaining
characters. Choose from the list.
Then, discuss how you know that this is the relationship
between them.
