In class today, we viewed two different movie clips of the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. The students were asked to pay attention to the differences in props, music, set, costumes, lines spoken, and other notable differences. Then students were asked to answer the following questions: On a separate piece of looseleaf, answer the following question in a half page response: How are the two film versions similar and different? Which film version best exemplifies the balcony scene, and why?
