Presentation Transcript

  1. Citations and Analysis Paragraphs How to do it right…

  2. Citing Lines From Shakespeare • As always, you MUST cite any quotes that you use from Romeo and Juliet. • The format for citing a quote from a play is different than citing a quote from a book, article, or short story.

  3. Format for Writing the Quote • Shakespeare specifically broke his writing into different lines, so you have to show those lines when you copy the quote. • For example: “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!/It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear/Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.

  4. Adding the Citation • You cite the quote in parenthesis with the Act number, Scene number, and line numbers. • The Act and Scene numbers must be in Roman Numerals. Line numbers are in regular numbers. • Example: “Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!/It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night/Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear/Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear” (I, v, 42-45).

  5. Evaluating Paragraphs • You will look at three different paragraphs that people wrote for the TKAM essays. • One by one, look for strengths of the paragraph and things they need to improve. • Work with a neighbor to read through and discuss this for a couple of minutes before we talk as a class.

  6. Your Job… Construct an analysis paragraph that contains 2 quotes to respond to the prompt below: The reader learns a lot about Romeo in the first act of the play. What is a primary character trait of Romeo and how is it shown on multiple occasions in Act 1? Hint: Your 2 quotes should show the same character trait on two different occasions.
