Poetic Devices Assignment

Students have been introduced to a variety of poetic devices. Shakespeare uses many throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet. For this assignment, students are asked to provide an example of a poetic device from the play and display it on a poster. Here are the steps:



  1. Find an example of a poetic device from the play. For example: "parting is such sweet sorrow"
  2. Identify the device. In the previous example, it is an Oxymoron
  3. Create a poster with both the poetic device and the example. Your poster must include the poetic device definition and an image that you feel represents the overall essence of the quote.
Criteria:

  • creates overall impression of insightful and personal response 
  • all required details evident
  • effective, creative, and appealing presentation
