   SUMMARIZE the PLAY

    • You are going to summarize Romeo and Juliet using actual lines from the play.
    • Your summary will be 30 lines long - only! (You will be penalized if your summary is more than 30 lines long!!)
    • You are allowed to use only one line per scene in your summary, so choose wisely. What one line from each scene best summarizes the events of that particular scene?
    • There are 24 scenes in Romeo and Juliet.  (1:5, 2:6, 3:5, 4:5, 5:3)
    • You are allowed to choose one extra line from anywhere in the play you deem necessary in order to round your summary out to 25 lines.
    • Present your 25 line summary as poem, in the manner in which Shakespeare wrote. This means you will end up with five stanzas, one for each act.
    • Include Act, scene and line numbers at the end of each line you quote.
