For those of you screaming "Help!" here are a few useful tips.
I have organized the quotations by scene. Clicking the line below will take you to the "No Fear Shakespeare" page that contains the quote. Warning: I do not control the content on "No Fear Shakespeare." Some of it may not be appropriate. Also, this is just a bonus resource; it is not guaranteed to be correct.
Remember, you are responsible for telling me why the quote is important, not just what is being said (in addition to the speaker and audience, of course). I suggest that you go through your packet while you do this, paying attention to who all is on stage when these lines are spoken.
Act 3, scene 1
"No, 'tis not so deep as a well . . ."
"Mercutio's soul . . ."
"O, I am fortune's fool!"
Act 3, scene 3
"There is no world without Verona's walls!"

"Night's candles are burnt out . . ."
"Methinks I see thee . . ."
"I'll send to one in Mantua . . ."
"Indeed I never shall be satisfied . . ."
"Well, thou has comforted me marvelous much."

Memory Work - 9th regular
The following information is for the 9th English regular classes. For 9th English Adv, please go here.
(Note: If you are a parent looking at this, you should have signed a form that looked like this for your child to turn in to me.)
Romeo
and Juliet
Memory
Speeches
- All 9th English students are required to complete memory work as one of the major test grades during the study of Shakespeare. Students earn grades as indicated in parentheses after each piece. Each error reduces the grade by one-half (½) point. Prompting of a line counts as two errors (1point deduction). A maximum of three prompts will be given to each student. The highest grade recorded for memory work will be a 105. Each student will be given a maximum of five minutes to complete his/her recitation.
- Up to three passages may be combined but must be recited as entire pieces. In other words, to earn a grade of 105, you may choose one piece of 50 lines, or you may combine pieces to make 50(+) lines. For example, speeches 7 and 8 can be recited in their entirety, a total of 52 lines, for a grade of 105. Another example would be the combining of speeches 10 and 13, a total of 28 lines, for a grade of 85. No more than 55 lines may be recited!
- Sign up sheets for recitation appointments will be posted inside the classroom at 8:00 on Wednesday, February 1, 2012. All appointments will be during the week of February 20-24, 2012, although students may recite their lines on February 17 with my permission.
- All work must be recited by 3:10 on February 24, 2012.
