Today in class, we read up to the end of Act I, scene v.  Make sure you answer the questions on the Act I Study Guide. Also, make sure to find a quote from each scene that you think is significant, write down the quote and explain why you believe it is important to the play.  Your explanation should be as full as possible within the space provided.

Also, because we have not done any vocab review, I'm postponing the vocab quiz until next week.
