Time for Romeo and Juliet tonight at A Noise Within.

I am looking forward to this so much. I've already seen the play, and I think my students will like it quite a bit, especially the cool swordplay and the cool Mercutio... He's quite fab.

We've been reading aloud from the play in class, and it is so difficult to listen to students who struggle with that. Of course there are a few who get into it and make it so much fun. Middle schoolers tend to go all-out a little more than high school students do, or at least the ones in my experience. Middle schoolers seem to be (mostly) natural hams.

They also like to draw flip-book comics in the corners of their copies of the play which is pretty irritating.

Oh well.

It's almost summer. I laugh thoroughly.
