  1. Romeo and Juliet Freshman A

  2. Annotate For Thematic Ideas • Love. True love? Innocent love? Too young to love? Love vs. lust? Love vs. passion? Love. • Hate. Causes of hate? Does hate cause violence or does violence cause hate? Can love cause hate? • Forbidden. Is it human nature to want something more because it is forbidden or kept away from us? • Fate. Coincidences, destiny, fate? • Personal Connection: What variables influence your decisions and guide you toward making sound choices? How do you know if it is a sound choice?

  3. Annotate for Structure • Cause and Effect Scenarios • What is the outcome of these choices? • Examine both character choices and author choices! • The structure of text to develop and refine the author’s intention • Why would the author choose this particular structure of sentences, paragraphs, scenes, and acts? • How does this organizational structure support what the central theme or idea? • Chronological Order • Why does the author reveal the information in this order? • Compare / Contrast • Usually a persuasive strategy. Do the characters use this strategy to reason or influence? • Parallel Structure • Using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance

  4. Annotate for Literary Devices/ Figures of Speech • Allusion – makes reference to something known • Alliteration -- repetition of a particular sound • Personification – human characteristics to non-human things • Metaphor – comparison of two unlike things (Extended metaphor) • Simile – comparison using like or as • Foreshadowing – hints towards a certain plot development • Soliloquy – character speaks to oneself • Asides – character speaks to the audience • Pun -- form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, often used with similar sounding words

  5. Annotate for Shakespeare’s Style • Sonnet -- 14 lines with a set rhyme scheme and a fixed rhythm called ' iambic pentameter' • Iambic pentameter – Five unaccented syllables alternate with five accented syllables • di-dum/di-dum/di-dum/di-dum/di-dum • There are five iambs to a line • This helps to create a sense of harmony and acts to link the ideas expressed in the sonnet. • “But soft!/ What light/ through yon/der win/dow breaks?”  • End rhyme -- rhyme that occurs in the last syllables of verses • I'll look to like if looking liking move, But no more deep will I endart mine eye, Than your consent gives strength to make it fly.
