Today we will start with 20-25 minutes of silent reading. Remember to record your page number at the start of the hour!
Next you'll spend the rest of the hour working on your second character analysis assignment. Divide a blank sheet of paper into 4 equal spaces (like we did after Act 1). Write the name of your assigned character in the middle of the page. Below are the assignments for each row:
Row 1: Mercutio
Row 2: Tybalt
Row 3: Friar
Row 4: Nurse
Row 5: Juliet
Row 6: Romeo
You'll need to fill each quadrant with one of the items listed below. Please read directions carefully!
This assignment is due tomorrow and will count as a small quiz grade. Please take your time and follow all directions carefully. If you finish early, you may read a bit more.

You'll need to fill each quadrant with one of the items listed below. Please read directions carefully!
- Label your character as either static or dynamic. Explain in 2-3 sentences why you chose this label, and be sure to use at least two specific details to support your answer.
- Record one important quotation from your character--something that helps characterize him/her. Be sure to use a parenthetical citation at the end to give the act, scene, and line number (3.1.10-12).
- Illustrate an important scene in which your character plays a role. Use detail and color here to help convey all the information you can (even if your characters are stick people)!
- Write a short (5-6 sentence) letter from your character to another character in the play. Note: If your character is already dead, you may pretend the letter was written before the big fight in 3.1.
