Acting Time!

In english class December 9, 2013 we understood the beginning parts of the play "Romeo & Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Although I had already grasped the jist of these opening scenes, acting them really improved my understanding of the flow and ambient that it transpired in. Thus allowed me to picture how people lived back in that era and gave me a more in-depth idea of the Montague and Capulet altercation. Hence, reenacting the scenes in "Rome & Juliet" greatly increased my understanding of the play and I really enjoyed this activity.

Montague and Capulet Feud

This monday, December 2, there was a reenactment of the Montague and Capulet families in William Shakespeare's widely-known play, "Romeo & Juliet". In order to participate in this we had to learn some insults that Shakespeare had incorporated into his play. Unfortunately I couldn't participate because I wasn't in Mexico, but on my way back from spending Thank Giving with my Mother's side of the family which resides in San Diego, California. Although I can picture exactly how this activity went: I imagine it started smoothly with people having fun, but then some hotheads taking it too personal and getting angry, spoiling the fun for everyone...  what a cliché. Thus, although I couldn't participate in this reenactment, I would of enjoyed it for the most part.

Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship basically mean the ability to remain polite or actively participate in an online community/ society. An example of this that is seen often is in youtube, where almost every comment insults ones sexuality or flat out insults them for no particular reason. These comments are a result of people who have nowhere to discharge their negativity, so they choose to pass it on to others via verbal insults. Rarely, there are positive people who have learned how to control their anger and relieve them in a healthier and more positive way, such as exercise. Anyways, digital citizenship also refers to participating positively, like having an online website that helps people as well and updating it daily for the benefit of the people. Hence, stay positive and supportive.
