Final WebQuest Product

     The WebQuest that I have been deconstructing is, Romeo and Juliet. My students have been assigned to select one scene from the tragedy and change the dialogue so that a dramatic twist takes place and the ending of the story is changed either for the better or for the worse. This will take multiple levels of research on my students' part, for they will have to submerge themselves in the world of Shakespeare and change his writing to make it their own. Following is my final product. I have selected a small section of Scene V. A Hall in the Capulet's House where Juliet is conversing with her nurse concerning the identity of the mysterious guest (Romeo). For my final product I will creatively expound on the text/dialogue 

JULIET

Go ask his name: if he be married.

My grave is like to be my wedding bed.

Nurse

His name is Romeo, and a Montague;

The only son of your great enemy.

JULIET

My only love sprung from my only hate!

Too early seen unknown, and known too late!

Prodigious birth of love it is to me,

That I must love a loathed enemy.

Nurse

What's this? what's this...

Scene V continued...with my writing 

Juliet:
 I love him. I love him.
there is nothing I can do.
My feelings are so immense,
that I know not what to say.
Oh, Nurse will I be disowned?

Nurse:
Child, the answer I am afraid is yes. 
He is your mortal enemy...nothing more
Nothing less. 

Juliet:
Sweet Nurse, how do you mend a broken heart?

Nurse: 
You are being ridiculously absurd. You only just met...
How can your heart be broken? Say nothing more...
Sleep is what you need.

Juliet:
Maybe...if I speak to father.
Will he lift this ban, this dishonor?
The possibility of peace how long will it take?

Nurse:
Juliet, your father loves you that is true,
But you are asking him to forgive something 
that is not his to forgive.
This rivalry between the families has been occurring for years. 
I almost think they both have forgotten the reason to hate.

Juliet:
See! I must reason with him! I can change his mind.
I will love my Romeo and love him freely. 
Good-night nurse! Farewell...
