Romeo and Juliet – Dialectical Journal – English I Pre-AP/IB

Instructions: From Acts I-V create a dialectical journal of 10 entries (see back for types). Entries may be typed or NEATLY handwritten on notebook paper. Each passage on the left should be in quotation marks, labeled with the journal

category, and have proper documentation (Act.Scene.Lines) The right hand column is your commentary, observations, and analysis about the

text. A) Who says it, what is going on, when is it said, and where is it said? B) Why is it important and how does it relate to the journal category?

You may NOT use the commentary in your book margins as your quote or your own commentary. Your commentary must be your own (not from an outside source nor from a classmate).

Failure to follow directions will result in point deductions.

Sample Dialectical Entries: the examples below may not be used.

Journal Category, Passage, and Documentation Commentary (A) Who, what, when, and where? (B) How and why?

Extended Metaphor1. “It is the East and Juliet is the sun./ Arise,

fair sun, and kill the envious moon,/Who is already sick and pale with grief/That thou her maid art more fair than she” (2.2.3-6)

Extended Metaphor: A) Romeo says this during the balcony scene when he is gazing at Juliet’s window. B) This is an extended metaphor because Romeo’s comparison of Juliet to the sun communicates how beautiful he thinks she is—so beautiful that others should feel envious of her. This comparison is one of many about heavenly/celestial things and sets up an extended metaphor.

Pun2. “Not I, believe me. You have dancing

shoes./With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead/So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.” (1.4.14-16)

Pun: A) In this scene Romeo says this when he and his friends are walking to the Capulet masquerade to sneak in so Benvolio can show other girls to Romeo to take is mind off of Rosaline. B) With this pun, Romeo makes it clear that he’s not interested in dancing or being in a light, happy mood for the Capulet party by using word play to suggest that his friends have nimble “soles” (feet) to dance and he has a “soul” (spirit/mood) which is too heavy for any sort of festivities.

Revise this to include the “skitless soldier” sim.

Notice the documentation.

Notice the labeling.

1. Choose 10 of the following categories for your journal entries.2. Find a quote from Romeo and Juliet that is and example of or relates to each category.3. Once you find a quote that relates to one of the journal categories, ask yourself:

A) Who says this, what is going on, when is it said, and where is it said? B) Why is it important and how does it relate to the journal category??

Love or infatuation?—find a passage/excerpt which either seems to reflect true love OR infatuation.

Fate vs. Free Will—find a passage that indicates the characters feel fate has already decided their destiny OR a passage in which a character willingly makes a choice which ends in a particular result.

Roles of servants—find an excerpt which shows a servant performing a specific role. Marriage/gender roles (for women)—locate a passage that shows an expectation or

limitation for women during the time period. Foreshadowing—find a line or passage that provides a hint of what might come. Dramatic Irony—find a passage/excerpt in which a character(s) are not aware of

something that the audience knows. Tragic Flaw of Tragic Hero Extended Metaphor—find a passage in which several lines are used to develop a

metaphor. Allusion—find a passage that uses an allusion (there are many mythological

allusions in this piece). Oxymoron—find a passage in which a character uses oxymoron. What does the use

of this technique reflect? Pun—find an excerpt in which a character is playing with words. Explore the

meanings and effect of this literary device on the passage. Rhyming Couplet—Shakespeare liberally uses this poetic device, especially when he

wants to emphasize meaning. Find an example of significance.

Whose misadventures, piteous overthrowsDo with their death bury their parents’ strife.

The fearful passage of their death marked love,And the continuance of their parents’ rage,

The which if you with patient ears attend,What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
