Looking for a figurative language activity for William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? This resource invites students to identify various types of figurative language found in Romeo and Juliet. The resource features a glossary with definitions of 7 types of figurative language as well as examples of how they're used in passages from the play. The resource also includes a three-page quiz in which students have to identify the type of figurative language used in each of 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. For teachers, the resource features an answer key that will enable you to grade students' quizzes quickly and efficiently.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 7-page resource:

• Glossary of Figurative Language: The glossary features definitions for the 7 types of figurative language which appear most prominently in Romeo and Juliet: metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole. The glossary also includes examples of how Shakespeare uses each type of figurative language in passages from early scenes in the Romeo and Juliet. So you'll be able to review the types of figurative language with students before they've finished the play — and before they take the quiz. (1 page)
• Quiz on Figurative Language: The quiz challenges students to identify 7 types of figurative language — metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole — used across 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. (3 pages)

This entire resource will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students — year after year!

Studies have shown that when accountable talk is used in the classroom, students not only gain a deeper grasp of the material but also experience a greater sense of community. Additionally, this approach provides them with a chance to value and understand the diverse backgrounds, experiences, knowledge, and beliefs of their classmates.

Here are the phrases listed on the desk cards:
"I agree with you because..."

"I disagree with you because..."

"Why do you think that?"

"I do not understand. Can you explain?"

"I know my answer is right because..."

"I solved this problem by..."

"Another way to solve this problem is...”

These Accountable Talk talking stems in the form of bookmark tabs, desk tags, and worksheet can greatly encourage students to speak in complete sentences as they participate in classroom talk. Accountable Talk tools like these can encourage academic, productive, active, and respectful conversations between students. These materials can provide students with varied opportunities to practice, apply, and build "new" language proficiency while increasing rigor in the classroom!

ITEMS INCLUDED

▶️ Accountable Talk Talking Stems:

These Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Talking Stem Bookmarks are tools that students can use to respectfully get themselves into conversations and to draw other people into the conversation. They come in two variations.

✅ Variation #1 - One Column Talking Stem that contains 5 talking/discussion areas: Agree, Disagree, Prompt, Clarify, and Add-On. This variation comes in four colors: Yellow, Pink, Blue, and B&W. Each color bookmark includes the same content.

✅ Variation #2 - Two Column Talking Stem that contains 10 talking/discussion areas: Agree, Disagree, Prompt, Clarify, Add-On, Explain, Evidence Comment, Question, and Summarize. This variation comes in four colors: Yellow, Pink, Blue, and B&W. Each color bookmark includes the same content.

✅ SAME CONTENT - 4 COLORS

▶️ Desk Tags (2 Variations, Same Content)

This resource includes two Accountable Talk Desk Tags. Same content in two variations. The Desk Tags are Accountable Talk “mini posters” that can be printed and nicely taped to the corner of students' desk so they can reference them all year long. They can refer to these tags for every activity, written and oral! There are two different designs - Colored and B&W.

▶️ Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Sheet

The Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Sheet includes discussion stems for 8 Accountable Talk categories: Agreeing, Disagreeing, Using Evidence, Adding On, Clarifying, Questioning, Predicting, and Inferring. Students can keep these sheets in their folders and have access to them where ever they go, especially at home. They can use these discussion starters in their writing and homework assignments as well!

▶️ Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric (EDITABLE)

This resource includes one Peer Evaluation Rubric in three variations - Same content. Editable versions are included, so you can modify in such a way that meets the needs of your students and instructional plans!

The Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric is meant for students to use and asses each other during Classroom Talk. Before beginning a discussion or debate, give each student a Peer Evaluation Rubric with another student’s name on it. (You can decide who will asses who, or you can just randomly write the names on Rubrics). Ask students to “secretly” observe and assess that student’s participation during the class discussion or debate. Students should not know who is assessing who so that evaluations of participation are fair. Throughout the discussion or debate, students will take meaningful notes of their classmates’ discourse/performances. At the end of the discussion or debate, give them 5 minutes to score the student whose name is on their Peer Evaluation Rubric. Finally, students can go up to the person they were observing and hand them the rubric. At the very end, the teacher collects the rubrics for review.

This has worked so well for me! Students were always “on their toes." Students found it so exciting to be observed by classmates and also observe others.

▶️ 2 Group Discussion Rubric/Reflection Sheets (EDITABLE)

This resource also includes two group discussion rubric/reflection sheets where you can either have students 1) evaluate the performance of the group during Accountable Talk/Group Discussions and/or 2) evaluate their own participation during group work/discussions.

Administrators walk into classrooms for observations and hear rigorous classroom talk among students. Ultimately, and this has happened with me, administrators may say, “Students were engaged in rigorous classroom talk, and that's great, but how are you tracking this discussion?” YIKES! Evidently, it all comes down to how you’re collecting and keeping track of data even during Classroom Talk.

This resource includes 12 different Accountable Talk / Classroom Talk Discussion Trackers (in different variations). Two of the Accountable Data Trackers are "Student Trackers" and titled “My Discussion Tracker” where students can keep track of their own participation during classroom talk. These trackers enable you to keep track of who's making:

• Claims/Inferences
• Supporting their Ideas with Evidence
• Providing an Analysis or Explanation of their Claims/Inferences (Substance)
• Volunteering their Ideas
• Using Accountable Talk Stems
• Engaging in Respectful Communication with Peers
• Actively Listening
• Making Connections
• Building on Others’ Ideas
• Not Contributing to Discussion
• Not Using Accountable Talk Stems
• Does Not Support Ideas with Evidence
• Interrupting Others (as they speak)
• Engaged in Side Activities
• Lacking Substance

✅ Keeping track of students' oral participation will help you notice the participation patterns in the room and seek out those who have learned to fly under the radar!

✅ Some trackers also provides you opportunities to jot down important key points that students have shared during discussion as well as some interventions needed to help them engage better in classroom talk.

✅ All this information can be tracked in these Classroom Talk / Accountable Talk Discussion Trackers. The data captured in these trackers can greatly help you provide the necessary interventions needed to support students in rigorous classroom talk. These trackers can also help you monitor their progress and have evidence of student learning. Your administrators will love you for this!

✅ Additionally, all 12 Discussion Trackers come in EDITABLE forms, so you can easily modify according to your needs and your students’ needs.

✅ PLEASE NOTE: The editable trackers do not contain the same fonts, borders, and clipart images as in the PDF version due to copyright purposes and requirements made by other contributing clipart artists. However, you may add your own borders and images to the editable version as well as change the fonts to your own style. The trackers themselves in the editable version are the same as the PDF version. The PDF version contains all the visually appealing fonts, clipart graphics, and borders.

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Citing Evidence Rubrics

★ 16 pages

★ Suitable for Grades 5-12

★ PDF and Editable Versions

This resource includes:

★ 4 Evidence-Based Response Rubrics (in two variations – totaling 8 rubrics!)

*******************************

Citing evidence is an important skill that students MUST master to demonstrate credibility, proficiency, and sense of eloquence. This resource includes four rubrics that capture students’ level of mastery when using evidence. These rubrics evaluate students’ abilities to support their ideas, inferences, claims, and/or responses with relevant text evidence. It also evaluates the strength and thoroughness of their explanations/analysis of evidence.

All 8 Rubric pages are EDITABLE for you to adjust and modify to meet your needs!

The four rubrics come in two different variations (totaling 8 rubrics):

✅ Variation #1: The FOUR rubrics are created individually on one page and includes a “Comments/Feedback” section for you to complete.

✅ Variation #2: The same FOUR rubrics are minimized to two (of the same rubric) on one page without the “Comments/Feedback” section.

Please note, the editable version does not contain the same fonts and borders that are in the PDF version because they are copyrighted materials by contributing clip art artists. The editable version has been created using Times New Roman fonts to ensure full and complete access of the rubrics without any formatting issues. Additionally, I replaced some of the copyrighted clip art with “free to use” clip art! You may modify the fonts and add your own clip art and borders as you wish!

6 Question Worksheets

• This resource consists of one passage titled “Birthday Surprise” with six differentiated question worksheets (Multiple-Choice, Short Answer, and Short Response) to help you differentiate for students of ALL levels. Three of the worksheets require students to use evidence/details from the passage to support ideas. Worksheets come in different formats. ANSWER KEYS for all worksheets are included!

Level Complexity:

• Question Worksheets range from basic comprehension questions (lower-level)

to inferential questions (higher-level).

• ALL Questions Worksheets consist of the same passage!

• This can be used as a quiz, test, formative assessment, homework assignment, classwork assignment, or can even be used during guided practice! A great idea would be to see how well students perform with the basic comprehension questions, and if they do well on that, you can challenge them further by giving them the inferential thinking question worksheets!

4 Bulletin Board Task Display Pages

• Included in this resource are four Bulletin Board Task Display Pages that can be used to display your students' work. Bulletin Board Task Display Pages are beautifully created and visually pleasing. These Bulletin Board Task Display Pages will improve the overall appearance of your classroom bulletin boards. Please note, the Bulletin Board Task Display Pages should be printed on gloss or photo copy paper for optimal quality and shine.

2 Rubrics (Visually pleasing as well!)

• Finally, this resource includes two student-friendly rubrics to evaluate students’ responses - Easy to use! One Rubric is a 4-point score Rubric used to score Short Answer Questions and one Rubric is a 2-point score Rubric used to score the Short Response question.

***You have everything you need to score your students’ responses, and immediately display on bulletin boards with the Bulletin Board Task Display Pages and Rubrics! Absolutely no preparation needed! - YAY!

This resource includes:

---- 3 Short Response Rubrics (Student Friendly) *(including two variations totaling 5 rubrics)

***Two of those rubrics come in a different variation - two rubrics on one page in which the teacher/scorer can cut in half. Please click on the green preview button for a closer look!

Students are more likely to work towards higher levels of achievement when they have access to assessment tools used to evaluate their work. These three student-friendly 2-Point Short Response Rubrics consist of language that students are familiar with and can easily understand. These Rubrics enhance students' understanding of how their work will be evaluated. At the bottom of the rubric, there is a "Scorer" section where the teacher/scorer can provide comments and feedback on students' writing responses. This is an excellent tool for lower level, Special Ed, and ELL students.

These Rubrics can be used for peer evaluation. Students can use these "easy to follow" rubrics to evaluate the work of their peers and provide comments and feedback.
