4. Think about an important point you want to make to someone. Maybe you want
to tell someone you love them. Perhaps you need to ask your boss for time off. Or
you want to get your neighbors to keep their dog from using your lawn as a
restroom. Whatever the message, however light or serious the tone, use the poetry
techniques from Lesson 1 to help you communicate it in the form of a poem. Use at
least two examples of figurative language and at least two sound devices (you
may choose rhyme as one of your sound devices). Bold print or highlight the
figurative language and sound devices in your poem to point them out to the
reader. This is a creative writing endeavor. Have some fun with it!

Assignment 2 Drama Assignment/Do our Differences
Define Us?
1. Do our differences define us? Write a paragraph in which you answer this
question and provide at least 3 reasons to support your opinion.
2. Provide at least two quotes from the play Romeo and Juliet to show that
the characters’ differences did or did not define them. (Include the page
number at the end of each quote)

supports your opinion.
Nurse
#1
#2
Romeo
#1
#2
Juliet
#1
#2
#1
Mercutio #2
#1
Tybalt #2
3. Choose one of the main characters from the play Romeo and Juliet (Nurse,
Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, or Tybalt), and think about how you would have
approached his/her situation.
A. What would you do differently? What would you do just as the character
did?
B. Write a modern-day scene based off that character and story. Will this
character’s differences define him/her? Or, will he/she expand beyond those
differences? You decide. It’s your story. This is a creative writing practice.
