Students develop an Elizabethan action cartoon using couplets.

Objective: To try a new experience using knowledge gained.

Activity: Play Elizabethan music. Read excerpts from Romeo and Juliet. Give students appropriate selections of couplets to read to each other (from Romeo and Juliet). Divide students into groups. Give each group a few couplets to transform into an Elizabethan Action Cartoon. Use chart paper and markers. Groups post and share their toons. Teacher points out the rhythm of the couplets and challenges students to re-read their toons while the rhythm is tapped out.

Assessment: Toons that are created and reflections in travel logs.
