Romeo & Juliet & the Ninth Graders

We're finishing up Romeo & Juliet in English, and we just got to the part where the friar sends a message to Romeo explaining that Juliet's not really dead. As a refresher over the weekend, I made the ninth graders write the message, including the return address, salutation, p.s., etc. Here are some of the addresses, postscripts, and closings the students wrote:

666 Satan Loves You Road

Verona, Italy

August 5, 1594

666 Satan Road

Verona, Italy

123 Holy Road

123 Church Road (how original)

P.S. Hurry!

P.S. Don't kill yourself! Thanks!

P.S. Don't let Paris try to kill you! (Methinks we have a clairvoyant friar here)

And here are some of the closings:

Your pal,

Friar Lawrence

BFF,

Friar Lawrence

LOVE YOU FOREVER,

Friar Lawrence (the all caps freak me out!!)

I think my favorite is the the "BFF, Friar Lawrence." Ha!!
