English 9 - Romeo & Juliet Literary Terms

All classes should review their literary term definitions, especially pun, allusion, alliteration, metaphor, simile, and personification.  You will have a term check tomorrow that will have examples of these literary terms from Romeo & Juliet.  You will have to identify them without using your notes.

FIRST PERIOD:  Students should finish the study guide questions assigned for Act II, scene iii (2-9) and collecting one specific example of each of the following literary terms from Act II, scenes ii-iii: metaphor, simile, personification, pun, alliteration.  Extra credit will be given for allusion and foreshadowing. 

FOURTH PERIOD:  Students should answer study guide questions assigned for Act II, scene ii (2, 5-12)

Separate sheet of paper, complete sentences for all study guide questions. 

Research Project assignments were given out today.  If you have not finished your research notecards (due last Friday: 5 sourcecards, 35 notecards), you will have an opportunity to turn them in along with the rest of your project on Wednesday, May 30.
