“ROMEO AND JULIET” CHARACTERIZATION ASSESSMENT
DUE ON OR BY: Fri. Sept. 17th
Choose 10 characters from the following list.
1.
Draw or create a symbol representing that character and tell how it relates to
something that happened in the play.
2.
Choose one of their most significant quotes—write the quote and tell what it means.
3.
Compile in the form of a booklet or on a poster. (Be creative! Make it look great!)
(You may do more than 10 characters for 2 bonus points each.)
The following are some characters you may choose from:
Romeo
Montague
Lady Montague
Juliet
Capulet
Lady Capulet
Paris
Nurse
Peter
Mercutio
Benvolio
Tybalt
Prince
Friar
Sampson
Gregory
Grading:
Each character will be worth 25 points (5 pts. for naming the character, 5 pts. for the symbol, 5
pts. for explaining how it relates to the play, 5 pts. for the quote, and 5 pts. for interpreting the
quote).
The final 50 points will be based upon originality and creativity. There is no reason why
everyone should have the exact same symbol explanations and quote interpretations. Be sure to
thoroughly analyze each character on your own. (10 points will be deducted each time I find an
exact duplication of another student’s character symbol explanation and/or quote
interpretation.)
