TPT/ Romeo and Juliet Quizzes and Tests Bundle: Unit Tests, Act Quizzes, Creative
Product Description
Need complete, all-purpose quizzes and tests on Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare?
This resource contains multiple options so that you can change your assessments from year to year or class to class (or depending on what you want to grade!) There are quizzes for every act that will work no matter how you have presented the play to your classes. Then, when you are done with the play, whether you want a traditional text-based test, prompts for argument essays, or ideas for fun and creative projects, this resource has you covered.
When you assess your students on Romeo and Juliet with these assessments you will:
• have a ready-to-go exam questions that require zero prep on your part
• ease your students’ testing anxiety by starting them off with simple and straightforward quote identifications
• challenge your students to think for themselves and analyze the text by getting them to write an original essay based on the provided quotes
• equip your students to write longer and more independent assignments by providing them with the necessary scaffolding
• engage your students with the multiple different thought-provoking short essay writing prompts
• quickly and easily grade students’ work using the provided answer key and rubric
Get your students reading the text, writing about themes, and deepening their understanding of the play with these proven resources.
The quizzes on the acts have two parts. For the first part, students choose 10 out of 15 quotes to identify the speaker. The names of all the speakers are provided, but the order has been mixed up. The quotes themselves go in chronological order. I have found that this is a simple, objective way to measure how well students know the play.
For the second part, students choose three of those quotes to write a short essay about a theme of their choice based on one of the essay questions. For these paragraph-length essays, what matters is that students have a thesis statement which they back up with examples from the play. I have included one sample answer so you get an idea of what an A essay might look like, but students’ work will vary greatly here.
There are five options for final assessment in this resource.
The first option is a test that requires students to complete quote identifications and write two short essays. This is the most conventional choice here, and it’s a good option to see how comfortable your students are reading the text of the play independently as well as writing about the bigger themes and ideas of the play.
The second option is an in-class essay on one character. For this assessment, students will work through a close reading of a group of provided quotes focusing on one character, and then they will write an essay on those quotes. This is a good option if you want the assessment to be a chance for students to further explore the text and to strengthen their close reading and writing skills.
The third option is an in-class essay on the play as a whole, based on one of two prompts. Students should have one class period to organize and plan their essays and one class to write them. This is a good option if you want students to develop their timed writing skills and their independent thinking.
The fourth option is a creative poster project which I have been using for various Shakespeare plays for at least fifteen years. It’s a low-key choice, and students could do most of the work at home. I like this option as it gets students to work with the text on their own, examining more than what we discuss as a class, and it also results in some great classroom decoration.
The fifth option is a creative group project that involves paraphrasing and updating a portion of the play. This is my favorite choice as it is challenging and fun at the same time, and it is the easiest to grade.
