Read one of the three articles on Shakespeare's language that are linked below, then read the famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet and one of the two sonnets that are also linked. In class, we will discuss the sonnets in light of the information presented in the article, and we will begin Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing. Lastly, we will go over the expectations for the annotated bibliography.
Article 1: Read this if Shakespeare is difficult for you.
Article 2: Read this if you're okay with reading Shakespeare, but you don't consider it a strong suit.
Article 3: Read this if you've done pretty well with reading Shakespeare in previous classes. Don't worry about remembering the names of rhetorical devices; focus on what their descriptions and the examples.
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, scene 2, ll. 1-49
Sonnet 116
Sonnet 138
