Thinking About Thinking: (Meta cognitive Thinking)
Bell Ringer:
-Tuesday - Define the word FATE
-Wednesday- Does "love at first sight" exist? Why/ Why not?
-Thursday- Why do people take sides? For example, the two servants in scene 1 are siding with the Capulets and willing to attack the Montagues for any reason. Why did they take sides when it is obvious that they are in different social classes. (Another example: A favorite NFL team.....People love their teams and side with their teams even though they will never play on the teams)
