Just Like Romeo and Juliet... Activity 6
Printing fonts and handwriting techniques have changed greatly in 400 years. Please read the following:
"The Office of Christian Parents: The Ordering of Sonnes from Fourteene Yeare Old and Upward"
On your blog, type your observations as to the visual style - letters, punctuation, spelling - of this document from 1616 from one that is contemporary.
We will discuss this together in class.
If you finish early, please read Romeo and Juliet ACT 3, 1
Then get in a group of 3-4 people around you.
Welcome Back!
Wow reading what was written is 1616 was a bit complicated. It took the class a very long time to read just one page ..i can't imaging how long it would take to read a whole book of them. The spelling was different the word us looked like vs and the s would like an l. Some things bearly made sense others seemed like they had nothing to ldo in the piece of writting. Also at times I was lost and it was not very easy to picture what was going on in the text because most of the time i had to be concentrating on what the word was and how to say it correctly.
