Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students use evidence from the play to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This Shakespeare one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze important literary devices such as theme, tone, irony, figurative language, and characterization. One-pagers provide an engaging alternative to traditional assessments while still allowing students to clearly demonstrate comprehension and analysis skills.
Completed projects result in thoughtful and creative interpretations of the play and also make beautiful bulletin boards and classroom displays that showcase student learning.
This resource includes
Student directions for the one-pager project provided in PDF format, a rubric for assessment in PDF format, an example one pager based on Romeo and Juliet in PDF format, ten blank printable templates (optional), and an editable Word document containing the student directions and rubric so teachers can modify the assignment as needed.
