Activities
It is that time of the year again when we read and study a Shakespearean play. But before reading and studying a Shakespearean play, on Monday, students will take a vocabulary test covering the list from week 32. From Tuesday to Friday, students will read and annotate Romeo and Juliet. Students will analyze the use of Shakespearean conventions such as aside, soliloquy, foil, blank verse, iambic pentameter, characterization, irony, and tragedy and tragic hero.
