Before we start reading Romeo and Juliet, consider what you already know about the play. What is it about? Have you heard references to it before in other places (music, TV)?
What is a tragedy? You can cite an example from your life, a story about a friend, something from the news or history.
How would you define tragic love? Can you think of any examples in history or popular culture in addition to Romeo and Juliet?
Write about your answers to these questions in your journal. It needs to be at least one page, but it can be more!
