New Schedule Today: One-Pager Wednesday: One-Pager Thursday: Jeopardy Friday: Bank Presenter Monday: Romeo and Juliet Test

Romeo and Juliet: Grid Review! For this assignment, you will produce a one-pager based on Romeo and Juliet. A one-pager is a single-page response to the play. It is a way to communicate your understanding of the material in a unique way that allows you to be creative and experimental. It gives you the opportunity to respond to your reading imaginatively and honestly.

One-Pager Requirements… Make a boarder with important quotes from the play (five quotes minimum). Make sure you use quotes from the original text and provide the act, scene, and line numbers in parentheses. Create three images that create a “visual focus” on your one-pager. Your pictures should represent what you have visually in mind about the reading. These images could be a symbolic representation of the theme or main idea of your reading. Choose a character and list at least five characteristics about him or her from what you have read. Find a creative way to do this: in a circle around the character’s name, surrounding an image you choose to reflect that character, etc. A personal statement about what you have read. What did the reading mean to you? What is your opinion, final thought, big question, or personal connection? Be sure to explain your response. (4-5 sentences) A theme statement: What is the theme of the reading? What was Shakespeare trying to tell us? How do you know? (4-5 sentences)

One-Pager Reminders… All work must be done on one side of the page except for your name and block (those should be on the back). Be creative! Make your one-pager interesting to look at. Fully in color – if you use pencil to outline, make sure you go over it with marker or pen. No white space! If you have room, repeat one of the steps above.

One-Pager Grading Scale… Border with at least five important quotes (5 points) Three images that symbolically or literally represent the text (6 points) Character with at least five characteristics (5 points) Personal statement (4+ sentences) (4 points) Theme statement with explanation (4+ sentences) (5 points) Fully in color, no white space or pencil visible (5 points) Effort put forth during class (5 points) Total: ____/35 points
