Assignment+2+Quotation+Explication

toc


=**__Assignment #2: Quotation Explication __**= Choose **ONE** of the quotations from Act I of //Romeo and Juliet// to //explicate//. Choose only **one quotation** and write a well-developed paragraph of 100-125 words in which you provide as much of the following information //as is applicable// to each quotation. You must use at least TWO parts of the quotation in your explication – and weave them smoothly – as if Shakespeare’s words were your own.

__**Things to Include** __
  Do not include any irrelevant information in your explications. Be careful of your grammar because you will lose points for such errors as sentence structure, verb tense, SV or PA agreement, and basic mechanics such as spelling, capitalization, and mechanics.
 * **TAG**
 *  the **speaker** of the lines and **to whom** they are spoken
 *  the approximate **location** of the lines within the larger work (Act I) [[image:scrollshake.jpg align="right"]]
 *  the **significance** of the lines themselves
 *  particular techniques evident in the lines, such as **dramatic devices** (dramatic irony, foreshadowing etc.), **plot development, character revelation, thematic significance, &/or poetic devices** (metaphor, simile, personification etc.)

__**What to do First**__
Go to your page, which you will find under STUDENT PAGES, and fix anything that you did not do correctly with your sonnet. CHECK MY PAGE for proper format of the TABLE OF CONTENTS, the resources, etc. You have information on how to do these things, OR you could ask me. Either way - you must fix the problems before I lock the page again.


 * THEN**: Type your quotation explication. You should title it: __ASSIGNMENT #2: Quotation Explication__ (check my page for an example). You might find it easier to type it into Word, spell check it, check the word count, and then paste it onto your page.
