STUDY GUIDE FOR ROMEO AND JULIET TEST

1.  Matching characters to important things about them

     It would be helpful to go over the character sheet we filled out, but there are also items that

    you should know from reading and discussing the play in class.

2.  Matching vocabulary words to their definitions

    The following 20 words are the ones that I will have on the test; they are from the                

    vocabulary sheets we used in class.  The words and definitions are in your notebook.

    gallant     exile     beguile     abhor     mantle     fickle     infinite     brine     chide

    waver     beseech     lamentable     feign     shrift     gossamers     pernicious     fray

    nuptial     visor     profane

3.  Quotes

The quotes are taken from the quote sheets that we filled out in class.  They are in your

      notebook.

4.  Multiple choice questions on the content of the play

     These are the same questions as the short answer questions on the quizzes at the end of each     

     act of the play.  They are in your notebook.

5.  You will write a paragraph on your choice of these two topics. The paragraph must be at

      least 8 sentences long.  It must have a topic sentence, examples and details to support the

      topic sentence, and a concluding sentence.  Grammar and sentence structure will also be 

      considered in the grade.
