--Reminder: Beginning with the end in mind--our ultimate purpose when completing a first-draft "reading" and closely re-reading sections of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet:

End-of-Unit Assessment Writing Prompt:

--purposefully view the film in order to gather information for discussion/assessment preparation by jotting down notes, responding to viewing/reading guide questions/prompts, and/or filling in text frame gaps
--REPEAT THIS PROCESS FOR REMAINING SCENES
