Homework, 29th November, 2016

As everyone had quite a few boxes missing on the table they had to fill in for homework last week, this week I would like you to fill in those boxes. For each one, you need to study the Act and Scene summary sheet and script more closely!

This is due on Thursday. 

Homework, 22nd November, 2016

Hi,

This week I would like you to fill in the theme/quote/Act and Scene/Character table. You will need to skim through a full version of the script in order to do this. You can use the printed version in your homework folder, or use the following online version (which is actually better as it has some translations and explanations in it):

Once again, this will force you get to grips with the play as a whole, which will be important when you come to answer the 25-mark question in the exam. 

As always, this task is due on Thursday. 

Good luck!

Homework, 15th November, 2016

Hi,

You are going to go through the first three scenes of the play using the scene summary booklet and, for each one, write down which characters are in it and which themes are covered. You can use the list below to help you, but if you think of any themes which are not on the list, feel free to add them. 

This is due on Thursday, 17th (I put the 16th on the cover sheet in your HW folder, but this is a mistake). 

Themes and characters in Romeo and Juliet

Themes Love Death Rivalry Conflict Magic/superstition/religion Power Nobility Hate Potions/medicine Fate Tradition Violence Family Authority Youth Loyalty The individual versus society

Homework, 1st November, 2016

Hi,

This week, I would like you to think about the characters in Romeo and Juliet and how important each one is. I have given you a list of nineteen characters which I would like you to number in order of how important each one is. You then need to explain why the top three characters you chose are important. Try and write 100 words for each character. 

There is a catch though: you cannot put Romeo and Juliet in your top three!

The characters are:

Friar Laurence
Friar John (a friend of Friar Laurence)
Gregory (a Capulet servant)
Samson (a Capulet servant)
Balthasar (Romeo's servant)
Abraham (A Montague servant)
Tybalt
Benvolio
The Nurse
Mercutio
Prince Escalus
Paris
Lord Capulet
Lady Capulet
Lord Montague
Lady Montague
Juliet
Romeo
Apothecary

This is due on Thursday. 

Good luck!
