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.

English 9 - R&J: Act I, scene i

All late vocabulary notecards should be turned in tomorrow for half credit.

Students should finish reading Act I, scene i of Romeo & Juliet and answer the corresponding study guide questions (omitting #9).  As always, all study guide questions should be answered in complete sentences and on a separate sheet of paper.  This link connects to the No Fear Shakespeare online edition, although I announced in class that any students lacking internet access should stop by after second period to pick up a paper copy.  Not all of those students did so. 

Research notecards are due on Friday instead of Thursday, so prepare yourself.
