You DON’T need to complete them until they are assigned!) 1. Making connections: Think of a time that you were having a fight with someone (maybe your boyfriend/girlfriend, maybe your best friend, etc.). How would you have felt if someone close to you (especially a brother, sister, or cousin) hung out with this person when you were angry at them? How is this similar or different than the feud the Capulets and the Montagues are having? 2. Translate Romeo’s speech to Juliet when he calls her the sun into your own words. Make it sound like regular English. (Act II, Scene 2) 3. Rhyming Words: Find 10 pairs of rhyming words in Act _____, Scene ______. 4. Alliteration: Find 5 lines that include alliteration in Act ____, Scene ______. Copy those lines below, and underline the words that alliterate. 5. Theme: One theme of Romeo and Juliet is that love can cause violence. Think of a movie, play, short story, or experience from your life that is evidence that love can cause violence. Write a paragraph (about 7 sentences long) that proves that this theme is true. Be sure to include a main idea sentence and underline it! Example: You might write about a time when two different people had a crush on you and got in a fight over who could have you. Example: You might write about the movie “Pearl Harbor,” in which two best friends fight over the same woman. Example: You might write about the movie “John Q” in which Denzel Washington holds an entire hospital hostage so that his son can receive medical attention. 6. Characters: Make a T-chart with Romeo on one side and Juliet on the other. Make a list of at least 10 things that you know about each one of them based on what we have read in the play. 2
