English 10: Two items due Monday . . .

1. Bring a typed, double-spaced copy of a section C composition. Focus on the criteria. Your story need only connect to the prompt indirectly. Do not mention the prompt directly. Why?

2. Your Queen Mab depiction from Mercutio's speech in Act 1, Scene 4. If you were absent, call your homework buddy to get the notes and/or use No Fear Shakespeare on the web to help you interpret the passage. You want to show through your drawing, collage, etc how love is viewed in this Queen Mab speech. You don't need to write any words on the picture. If unsure, you can write your thesis on the back.

If you do not have a clear understanding of the following terms, please study this weekend:

1. unrequited love
2. sonnet
3. iambic pentametre
4. in medias res
5. oxymoron
6. heroic couplet
7. motif


Also, we will be having a vocabulary quiz soon. Be sure to study.

If you will be busy this week, read ahead. Read Act 2.
