Romeo and Juliet

In English class with Miss. Baren, we need to make a project with a group of two or more members that consisted in doing a comic book about Romeo and Juliet. We only did a specific act per group. My group was Feris, Marifer and I. We made act 2 and it was a very difficult and funny at the same time. All the days that it took to finish the comic book in comic life were all in computer's class. It helped us a lot being able to use computers to find Spark notes to understand better the play with other words/synonyms etc. By using spark notes and also my text book, I choose all the dialogues and quotes to put it in our comic. Then we went to Feris house to take the photos of what was happening in act 2. Feris house perfectly fit in with the setting of act 2 because it had a balcony, a very cool room that was a little baroque like in that time and a lot of customs. Finally we plugged the pictures to the computers on the school and started doing the comic by writing the dialogues and the narrations. As I already said, this project very difficult but fun at the same time. It stressed me a lot during the project because some of my partners didn't came to school and Feris one's forgot the photos in his house. I think that our project deserves to be put in the library because it is understandable and funny.

Comics are a good way to learn about serious literature like Romeo and Juliet. We made this project as a comic book to summarize the story of Romeo and Juliet and also to be funny. I know that we don't read comics usually to learn something but it can work in that way. Usually comics are cartoon characters with a purpose to entertain the reader with adventures, suspense, death, fights ect but it can be also to teach something, why not?
