On these two days, students will be watching Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet." This is considered the classic film version and closely follows the text of the play.
Students will also have a worksheet to complete. The front side of the worksheet is an anticipation guide, meant to be completed prior to watching the film. The back side is a series of comprehension questions based upon the events in the movie.
If you missed either of these days, you need to get the worksheet and complete it. You can probably find the video of this movie online, OR I am willing to provide you with a copy of it for viewing at home.
On Monday, we will start reading the actual play "Romeo and Juliet" from the textbook. On Monday, we will read Act One. In preparation for this, you should read Act One of the "No Fear Shakespeare" version (the modern text):

Remember to read ALL of Act One. There are five scenes to Act One. DO NOT just read Scene One. Read all five scenes of Act One.
