It’s not always easy to focus on literary terms quizzes.
While you were lounging by the pool this summer, I was writing Romeo and Juliet quizzes while lounging by the pool. These Romeo and Juliet literary terms quizzes can be found on the miracle we call the Internet.
They’re interactive. They’re fun not entirely boring. They cover the following ELA Common Core Standards set forth by the almighty, all-knowing, all-caring, big brother we call the Federal Government, which has coerced persuaded a multitude of states to adopt them (including my favorite, the Silver State).
Here are the quizzes.
- Act II, Scene iii quiz: Friar Lawrence rambles about weeds.
- Balcony quiz: I’m sure you’re familiar with the balcony scene.
- Romeo and Juliet Prologue quiz: Where it all begins.
Here are the standards.
