A Block Romeo & Juliet Take-home Test

Below you will find five quotes from Romeo and Juliet. Begin your test by selecting any two of the quotes; then determine where in the play the quote takes place and which character is speaking. Once you have the context, write a short response (between 300 and 500 words) for each quote in which you do the following: explain the context of the quote, explain who the speaker is and what has motivated him or her to speak these lines, and explain what theme this quote seems to express. You need not write an essay; however, your response is should have an obvious structure. If you choose to write to responds on a computer, please double space. I will assess your response as follows: does your response correctly identify the speaker and the context? (3 points) does the response explain the speakers motivations? (5 points) does the response correctly identify and thoroughly explain the theme? (5 points) does the response conform to the conventions of standard written English? (3 points)
