Description

Challenge high school students to push beyond basic reading comprehension and exercise close reading analysis skills while engaging with Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Given the objective nature of the multiple choice questions, each close reading activity is rigorous enough for students to find deeper meaning in the text, yet convenient enough for teachers to quickly and efficiently gather data on their students' textual analysis skills. Included are twenty-five close reading worksheets, each addressing an individual scene, and answer keys. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. By the end of the play, students will:

Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
Define complex words as they are used in the text
Discern the intended effect of Shakespearean slang and figurative language as they are used in context
Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
Think from the perspective of Romeo and Juliet in order to answer a question about symbolism
Use context to identify an opinion with which Friar Laurence would agree
Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor, simile, hyperbole, allusion, personification, oxymoron, dramatic irony, situational irony, and more
Determine the tone of given passages
Discern the functions of given passages
Examine the greater significance of a given detail
