First and Fourth periods had the Act 4 and 5 quiz, and then worked on planning the essay for the essay question.

Romeo’s final speech is filled with themes and language devices Shakespeare has used throughout the play.

• Comparisons
• Personifications
• Word categories
• Repetitions
• Sentence types
• Personal References

Trace Shakespeare’s use of these themes and literary devices listed above to answer one of the following questions:

• How does your component reflect Romeo’s mental state?
• How does it relate to the larger themes of the play?
• How does it contribute to the effect of Romeo’s final words?

Second and seventh periods worked on generalizing, revisiting yesterday’s work to draw up some generalizations about justice as we begin the third quarter unit.
