We will spend the Thursday afternoon double going through parts 4 and 5 of the "Love" task. You will be able to work on these during the lesson. Your homework is to complete the entire task. The due date is Monday 4 June: bring your completed work to the double ready for me to collect.You are being assessed on all three IBMYP criteria:
- Content :: Demonstrating your understanding of Romeo & Juliet; depth of analysis of Shakespeare's writing
- Organisation :: Clear paragraph structure; logical development; accurate reference to quotes
- Style and Language Usage :: Varied and appropriate vocabulary; accurate spelling, punctuation, syntax
- Topic sentence :: This sentence introduces the topic/subject of the paragraph and its main point.
- Body sentences :: These sentences provide examples and supporting evidence for the topic or point.
- Concluding sentence :: This sentence summarises the paragraph.
(1) Romeo thinks Juliet is incredibly beautiful. (2) He exclaims that she is the one who gives light to the Capulet party, saying "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" Romeo goes on to state that Juliet is too beautiful to even set foot on the planet: "Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!" He goes on, "So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows". Here, Romeo is saying that Juliet stands out far above any of the other ladies at the party, like a white dove amongst crows. (3) These examples show how entranced Romeo is: even the sight of Juliet has captured his emotions completely.Notice also in this example how quotes have been included and then explained.
How long should a paragraph be? Aim for 5-7 short sentences.
EXTRA: The painting shown above is known as the Chandos portrait. We don't know much about William Shakespeare and no-one is entirely sure which portrait shows the bard's most accurate likeness. One scholar recently stated that the Chandos portrait is probably the most authentic.
