media type="custom" key="5171285" Assignment glog created by Katrina Vandergraaf =The assignment:=
 * To create a montage of the great lines from //Romeo and Juliet//.
 * To explain clearly why you chose each of those lines from the play.

//**Hint:** A __montage__ is a made when you combine a number of items into a tightly knit whole—like a scene in a movie where the director plays a song and cuts through a number of shots to give you a feel for one thing. Think of the classic “falling in love” montages from many movies.//

How?

 * Choose 15 passages from the play that hold great importance.
 * Passages should be at least one line in length.
 * These are lines that, when read chronologically, guide us through the ups and downs of the events of the play.
 * Explain why you chose each of those particular lines.
 * Display the lines creatively on a presentation.

//**Tip:** Choose lines you understand. The point is to show what you think is important. With monologues, look particularly to the beginnings and ends for clear lines you “get.”//

Explain them? What do you mean?

 * We've talked through the play and I've told you my interpretations. These 15 selections now represent yours.
 * Defend each line you choose in PIE format.
 * Why does that line stand out in that section? Why does that section stand out in the play? What theme, character trait, etc. is revealed there?
 * Type out your justification on a Word document (MLA format) and hand it in before you begin the next part of the project.


 * See the example I created to help you get going with this.[[file:PIE explain quote.doc]]

Display them--What does that mean?
After you’ve got your lines picked, you need to share them creatively. The sky is the limit for how you might do this. Realize that there is NO BOX for this assignment, so you have to think outside it.


 * How much do I have to do?*
 * You must create a glog or illuminated text for your quotes.
 * You can create a glog for each quote and link them or place the quotes on one glog. (One glog may be a little difficulty with 15 quotes).

Below is a list of ideas. You may add to them if you clear it with me.

All these elements must be embedded in your quote.
 * Write a poem of a matching theme for different sections of your chosen lines.
 * Match each line thematically with a picture
 * Record a thoughtful reading of the line & pair it with pictures
 * Draw a picture to accompany the line - could match the plot or just the theme
 * Use music to highlight or illustrate the theme associated with your quotes.
 * Create a digital flipbook
