After many days and much poetic rambling, we are on to Romeo and Juliet, a study of the light and dark of life and love. We have finished reading the play, with the help of No Fear Shakespeare, we viewed Franco Zefirelli's and Baz Luhrmann's versions of the play, we have written a synopsis and a comparison/contrast essay, and now we are on to preparing for the Olde Feaste of Fooles for next Wednesday and Thursday. The students are expected to dress in appropriate costume, bring some sort of food befitting of the time (roast mutton may be hard to come by and a butt of malmsey may be in appropriate) and perform various entertainments for their classmates. Looking forward to it! A merry Christmas to all!

Til next time...
