Help high school readers go beyond basic reading comprehension and support the development of critical thinking and literary craft analysis skills with this close reading worksheet covering Act 1, scene 1, of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. By completing this activity, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Consult reference materials in order to learn and verify word and phrase meanings (“We’ll not carry coals,” “not quickly moved,” and more)
  • Discern the intended effects of the author’s word choices and narrative techniques
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including foreshadowing
