If you chose to do Option 3, and write a poem etc. Would you have to directly mention Romeo and Juliet as well as another text, or would you be allowed to just dive deeper into the topic that you chose?
An excellent question, Diya! Thank you so much for asking. You would not need to directly mention another text in your poem (or whatever creative piece you compose), but I would expect your "artist's statement" to mention how the play and something else (your life, another text, history) informed your creation of the piece.
I’m confused on the difference between the essay option and the outline option. I don’t really understand what the outline is and how it differs from the essay.
Good question! Please look at the samples provided. You'll see that the essay includes full paragraphs (there's context and analysis for all of the quotations), while the outline does not.
You certainly could do a song (as part of Option 3). Just make sure the song is accompanied by your "artist's statement" that covers what from the play and another text informed the piece.
Your poem could be written in all sorts of different styles. It does not have to sound Shakespearean at all! It should, however, deal with a big idea from the play.
You're welcome to write about any of the big ideas. I assume it will be easier to write about the big idea you used for the brainstorm chart, but you don't have to use that one.
I suppose it could. I think many of the big ideas we discussed factor in to the feud's continuance ("the continuance of their parents' rage"): miscommunication, pride, impulsivity, etc.

DeleteIf we do a creative piece such as drawing, should we just take a picture of it and put it into the doc to submit it?
ReplyDeleteB3 is Chris Bauge
Thanks for asking! Yes. Take a photo, put it in a doc, write up your artist's statement in the same doc, and file it in your English folder.
Deletecould we do a song?
ReplyDeleteYou certainly could do a song (as part of Option 3). Just make sure the song is accompanied by your "artist's statement" that covers what from the play and another text informed the piece.
DeleteIs the final product due Friday, or just what we have been working on?
ReplyDeleteYes. Friday is the due date.
DeleteAnd does the big idea have to be the same one we did the chart for, or can it be a different one?
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to write about any of the big ideas.
DeleteIf we write a poem do we need to make it sound like the book/play with the arts and thous
ReplyDeleteYour poem could be written in all sorts of different styles. It does not have to sound Shakespearean at all! It should, however, deal with a big idea from the play.
DeleteDo all of the options have to be the big idea we filled the brainstorm chart out for?
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to write about any of the big ideas. I assume it will be easier to write about the big idea you used for the brainstorm chart, but you don't have to use that one.
DeleteCould an “other” big idea involve how a feud is maintained or broken?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it could. I think many of the big ideas we discussed factor in to the feud's continuance ("the continuance of their parents' rage"): miscommunication, pride, impulsivity, etc.
DeleteAm I allowed to draw some pictures and write poems or do I have to pick one or another?
ReplyDeleteA combination is fine! Just make sure to include an artist's statement paragraph.
DeleteThe theses in the samples seem to be two sentences. Does this mean our thesis could/should be two sentences?
ReplyDeleteIt could be!
