Romeo & Juliet Act 1, Scene 2, Annotated Text, Comprehension Qs and Slides

This is the complete annotated text from Romeo & Juliet Act 1 Scene 2. The detailed annotations are color-coded and cover: themes, characters, linguistic features, context, structure & audience effect and interpretation. There is also a page of analysis of the scene at the end and ten comprehension questions. Some of the questions can be delivered as group discussion or pair work. Some of the questions require students to engage in close analysis of the text and provide textual evidence for their answers. There is a glossary of words at the end.

I have also included a set of 20 PowerPoint slides which cover key quotes, characters, themes and some textual analysis. The clipart characters are my own and are subject to normal copyright.

As always, if you have any questions about this resource please ask away. If you have any problems with the resource or find any typos or other errors, do let me know and I will endeavor to address the issue as soon as possible.

Thanks.
