Explore new words in Romeo and Juliet by using this magic squares activity. Your class reviews 16 words including immoderately, culled, and crochet. Then, after they complete the chart, they add up all of the columns and rows. If they solved the puzzle correctly, the total will be the same for all columns and rows!
Students examine Shakespeare's use of poetic conventions as principle of dramatic structure in Romeo and Juliet, identify use of figurative language, and poetic forms to impart perspective in play, and examine other Shakespearean plays.
Shakespeare is famous for his figurative language, especially in Romeo and Juliet. As your class reads Act II, have them identify the figurative language used. Eleven examples are given, and readers underline the language and identify it.
Shakespeare was such a talented writer, but why? It must be his use of figurative language, blended with his clever, twisting plots. This worksheet focuses on his use of metaphor, simile, personification, oxymoron, and hyperbole within Romeo and Juliet. Your readers will study specific lines (given), identify the figurative language used, and explain how they know its that specific type.
Thorough and all-encompassing, this study guide summarizes an entire semester, or possibly a year, of language arts vocabulary words. Vocabulary from The Diary of Anne Frank, Night, Romeo and Juliet, and various short stories is listed for review, as well as the elements of drama, stories, and literature. Concepts for MLA format and grammar finish the activity. Use the study guide as a way to plan your semester, substituting any stories or concepts that you cover instead.
Designed as a course review, this worksheet asks class members to match story elements to definitions, label a plot diagram, answer True/False questions about Romeo and Juliet, and label the parts of an essay.
In this drama study guide worksheet, students respond to 39 short answer questions regarding the plot, characters, vocabulary, and figurative language of act 2 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare too confusing? Rewrite it! Small groups each take on one act of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, repurposing it into more modern language. They summarize the act as a group and then act out the basic play using created scripts, blocking, and costuming. Each group presents a slide show to explain their act and process before playing the recorded version. This is a fun way to get kids engaged in a sometimes-intimidating piece of literature, and could easily be rewarded by watching the 1996 film adaptation.
If your class has just started Romeo and Juliet, and you want to assess their understanding of the vocabulary words presented, consider using this two-page worksheet. Words like humor, shrift, and mar are included.
Can your readers identify the speakers for several important quotations in Romeo and Juliet? This seven-page packet contains dozens of quotations for your class to study. It would be great test prep if your assessment includes a section on important quotations and their speakers.
