How Does Shakespeare Use Dramatic Devices In Act 3 Scene 1 Of ” Romeo And Juliet” In Order To Make It Such An Interesting, Exciting And Important Scene?

Romeo and Juliet is an Elizabethan play set in Verona. It tells the story of the Montague’s and Capulet’s, 2 families who have a deep hatred for each other. However the story takes a turn for the worst when Romeo; Montague and Juliet; Capulet become entwined in a dangerous love rollercoaster. Act 3, scene 1 is the scene I have been studying and therefore will be the scene I will be analysing.

Well, it all started when a group of young girls came together to audition for the huge hip hop event, the Breakin' Convention at the Theatre Royal.

We decided to come together to represent the north east and prove that there is growing talent up here on the street style front.

Choreographer Jordan Grigg has a quirky style and is creating routines that would make girls all over scream GIRL POWER! Each member of the crew brings something different to the group, whether its funk or flare, or technique and discipline, we all have one thing in common, a strong love for hip hop!!

Hello There!

My name is Mark (and as I am under 18 and the Shine website told me to, I am not going to write my second name. I think I will just call myself "Mark S" as that sounds pretty cool) and I am a Year 10 Peer Mentor at Trinity School in Newbury. This is my first post, and I have learnt that if you click on the title above this text, you get to read everything I have written in this entry - what fun!

Chloe Stevenson who is a pupil in Year 2 at Simonside Primary school has been shining in her classroom lately with her fantastic signing skills. In our school we have Hearing Impaired children who require the assistance of one of our super hearing impaired staff during lessons. Mrs Gowings year 2 class are lucky enough to have Mrs Onur working with them everyday, she would like Chloe to be mentioned on our Shine webpage.

"The secret of being a good peer mentor? ...I think generally people just want a listening ear and to have someone to talk to! I always give the best advice I can and when I know I don’t have the answers, I refer people on."

I think that being a holder of the princess Diana award is great achievement and I am proud of my self for the commitment I give as a Peer Mentor. I have been a trained Peer Mentor for 3 years but it has only been this school year that I feel I have achieved and developed more as a person.

Letters went out to year 5&6 about an art club that was going on in our school and it was to do with healthy eating.

We all had to come up with a design , then Patricia picked the one that we were going to make. The mural was going to be vegetables in a running race with a slogan that said, keep on track with a healthy snack. We learnt to cut tiles and how important it is to wear safety specks while working.

Lucy’s haiku’s

I haven’t got legs
but a fishes tail with scales
I look very like you.

I have a very strange head
I live in forests in trees
I move very slowly.

I live in the sea
I have a big bottle nose
My skin is light blue.

As Dora was still in complete shock to what has happened to her husband, in a way she was happy because there was no more of his vile commands. Also she has a whole patch of gold right next to her.

Should William Shakespeare’s works still be taught in schools?

Budmouth Technology College’s Peer Mentors are currently part of the National Peer Mentoring Anti Bullying Pilot.

Star Peer Mentors Ellen Norman and Christopher Plumber were both nominated for a Diana Award and were invited to London to collect their Awards from Esther Rantzen at a special ceremony last December.

The Diana Anti-Bullying Awards reward inspirational and courageous young people who are committed to making the environments in which they work, learn and play, safer and happier for everyone.

Life in Medieval Times by Jonathan Williamson in Year 7

• Townsperson

• Doctors and Medicine

• Medieval Monks

• Villeins

• Lord and Lady of the Manor

• My Conclusion

Each Medieval Town had a few Townspeople; these people were free and given the freedom to trade. They were called Burgesses. They wore woollen and linen clothes with leather boots (quite simple really)!

A big well done to all the children taking part in WHITTLE'S GOT TALENT. It takes alot of courage to stand in front of others to perform. Miss Williams and Miss Glen are enjoying every moment.
Good Luck in the final show.

The Magical Tree
by Taylah (Year 3)

Once there lived two children. One was called Lily and the other was called Holly. They lived together in a small house.

One day they went to the forest where there were lots of trees. As they walked past the boring trees they got closer and closer to a big bright light. When they eventually got to what was behind the light they were in for a big shock…

On Saturday 20th June 2009 a group of young people from the Worksop PAYP programme went ‘on tour’ to the Sherwood Festival at Woodthorpe Park, Sherwood, Nottingham.

Young people from the Worksop PAYP music, arts, dance, drama and personal development programme, The Academy, delivered by Young Potential at the Worksop Regal provided musical entertainment to the crowd, which attendance figures show to be around 3000. One of the bands designed their own t-shirts for the day with their band’s name, Signify – The Strength Of Youth, emblazoned across them.

The Stables Project is a non-profit making arts and education initiative working with youth and community and affiliated to the Centre for Personalised Education Trust, a national charity for home and small centre learning groups. We are based in the Scarcroft Road area of York, and have been operating since September 2001 from a small Victorian stables block, converted into two studios with supporting office spaces. We have also developed an allotment as a base for outdoor projects and ecological activities.

Friendship Train

You are my best friend
I hope it won’t ever end
I really like you
I hope you like me too

We will be friends forever
Whether we are dopy or clever
We go round each others house
And play with your pet mouse

Sometimes we might fall out
And sometimes we might shout
But then we make up again
We are on a never ending friendship train

By Megan and Abigail

STORY WRITING

Ferrari the Cheetah Cub

It was a blazing hot day, all the trees were taken, none of the animals were stirring, well it is Africa. Although there was a lake at the bottom of the hill all the animals were perfectly still because it was so hot and it was a long walk. In a far corner on the hill a little cheetah cub was sitting in the shadows purring to his mother.

Liam tookes poem

Liam tooke is a year 7
In filey school
And football is his hobby
Main team is leeds united

Taking the mick is his speciality
Or taking
Over on racing games
Kyle, sam and matty are his best mates
Even henry may make the list
Scary movies are quite funny

Playing in defence for hunmanby
Or sat at home watching tv
Even playing on my trampoline
My poem rules!!!

By Liam Tooke 7KAm

The gift of the goddess
shrouded in mysteries high
people go seek it thus and take to the sky
lost in infinaty
to become an entity
and show the gread
the gread of humanity
the arrow has left the bow of the goddess

Q.Do you go to any after school clubs,Georgia?
A.Yes, I really enjoy doing dance and drama. We are performing at the Wolsey Theatre next week. I am speaking a poem in the performance because I can speak loudly and clearly and can put expression in.

Q.What else do you think you are good at?

Cool Cats is a successful and well established drama club with over 60 members aged between 7 and 11years. The success of Cool Cats is based on three key objectives - to be a club where children can explore their creativity, develop their communication skills and build their confidence in a friendly, non threatening environment. Cool Cats is not a theatre school but our Cool Cats do enjoy performing (it’s difficult to stop them!) and their end of year show is always a delight to watch.

Here is an extract from Cathay Craftz's blog. This was a company set up to compete in the Make Your Mark with a Tenner Competition. The students were fantastic and made pitches to businesses in Manchester.

Their origami company created many beautiful works of art that could be displayed and used in offices.

Over to the studets:-

"Well it’s all over, almost!
We still have bouquets to finish for weddings and conferences and thousands of stars to make for table decorations and lots of mobiles to complete.
The good news is the fish are done!
