Hedging language (II). Romeo and Juliet: the Prologue and the opening sequence
13 outubro 2026, 10:00 • Irene Bulla
Today we practiced hedging by revising the statements in the “Hedging Intro” worksheet (available in the Week 4 folder on Google Drive). We then began our Romeo and Juliet case study. We read the Prologue to Shakespeare’s tragedy (“Selected passages” worksheet, Week 5 folder) and watched the opening sequence of Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation, Romeo + Juliet. We discussed the role of the newscaster and the trailer-like presentation of the main characters, focusing on the effects and implications of these adaptation choices. Finally, we began reading Act I, scene 1 (pp. 2–3 of the “Selected passages” worksheet).

Sentence structure, peer review; Hedging language

Today we continued working on the sentence structure worksheet (Week 4 folder on Google Drive) by correcting the paragraph on p. 4. Each student then wrote a short paragraph, which a classmate reviewed to identify sentence structure problems and propose corrections (p. 5 of the worksheet). Finally, we introduced the concept of hedging using the “Hedging Language” worksheet (available in the same folder).
