  1. Who is to Blame?Lesson 26 Purpose - To evaluate a text. - To support an argument.

  2. Warm Up Think like Shakespeare • Pick a quote on the half sheet of paper that you think Shakespeare agrees with most. On the back of the paper, explain the quote and explain why you believe Shakespeare agrees with the quote. Make sure to use evidence to support your answer!(1 paragraph)

  3. Scene VThus with a kiss, I die! • Parts • Narrator • Paris • Page • Balthasar • Romeo • Juliet • The Friar • Chief Watchman • Second Watchman • Third Watchman • The Prince • Lord Capulet • Lady Capulet • Lord Montague

  4. Consensogram Put your name underneath the character’s picture who you think deserves the most blame for Romeo and Juliet’s death.

  5. Look at the Data… • What jumps out at you? • What surprises you? • What patterns do we see? • What questions come to mind? • What confirmations do we see? • What’s clear about this data? • What’s not clear about this data?

  6. Write a Claim • Example: My Claim Because the nurse was such a pain in the butt and kept things moving along so SLOWLY, she is most to blame for the death of R & J. • Your turn! Write your claim! Because (insert evidence), (insert character) is most to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet.

  7. Counterargument • Surprise! Your writing assignment is NOT to support your claim. Instead, you will write a counterargument. • What? You will choose your second choice and argue that this person is to blame for the death of R & J. • Why? This causes you to think and look for FACTS to back up your OPINION. This causes deeper thinking That’s what English teachers like!

  8. Discussion • Get in groups based on who you chose as your counterargument. Do a “One minute think, one minute talk.” You get one minute to think about these questions, then one minute to talk about them. • Was it harder for you to write a counterargument? • What evidence did you find to support your counterargument? • Would you change your mind now about Who’s to blame?

  9. Exit • Get out your Act V study guide. Let’s take some time to go over the details of what happened for a quick review.
