Any Romeo & Juliet Fans?

[jamessd]

Well seeing as this is what I've been spending most of my time on recently (English Coursework :( ), rather than unicycling, I thought I'd share my romeo and juliet essay with anybody that might be interested.

I'm not trying to cheat or anything, but before my teacher marks it as a first draft, is there anything I could improve?

Title: Who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet?

Zyllan, whom some of you will know, managed to combine unicycling with Romeo and Juliet. There was a big combined Manchester schools production of R&J, which ran for 5 nights, on a huge specially built set. In the modern trend, this version of R&J was set against a background of some of the Cuban problems of a few decades ago. Zyllan rode the unicycle and juggled fire each evening as part of the show, followed by the cast doing a sort of dance/fight scene. Didn't ride enough to improve his unicycling much but his Shakespeare knowledge rocketed.

If you havn;t already seen it.... get your hands on a copy of teh Baz lerhman R&J film. Its visually and musicly stunning and its pretty faithfull to the text. If you get a chance to see the play for real on stage do take that as well. its a whole differnt game to reading it.
I don't think I have read it more than once through but I've seen the play more times than I remember in a couple of differnt productions i worked on.

Then what is your 'high school'?

[jamessd]

Then what is your 'high school'?
What you go to aged 11-16.
It's usually called secondary school though... but both are used.

[sarah.miller]

In England and Wales ( scotland is slightly differnt)
3-4 - preschool
4 or 5 - 11 Junior school ( may be split into 1st or infant and middle sections)
11 or 12- 16 high or secondary school
16 is end of compulasary education and most take GCSE exams in 6-10 subjects at 16.
16-19 6th form college (or may be part of a high school) or a college of further education, studying a smaller number of subjects towards a variety of qualifications.
18+ university or college of higher Ed or college of further ed depending on subject and level of study.

Junior school

:rolleyes: Primary school when it's at home... but they all count :p

[sarah.miller]

sorry James, you are quite right. I grew up with a 1st and middle system and forgot about the primary tag.
