Language Arts Homework
Due: Friday, March 10th
1. As we continue with our Read-A-Thon, it is important for you to know that one of the
things we purchase with fundraiser money is new books. My favorite thing!! I would like
for you to think of a book that we do not currently have in our classroom library, and
write about why it should be added. I would love to get some great recommendations
for enhancing the classroom library next year. For homework, write at least one
paragraph, but feel free to write more.
● You should give the title (underlined, of course!), author and date it was
published.
● Let me know why you liked this particular book.
● Tell me why you think it would be a good addition to the library. For example,
perhaps you have a favorite fantasy book that we don’t yet have, or maybe you
have another genre that you love and feel isn’t fully represented in our current
library.
2. We are going to memorize Juliet’s lines from the same part of the play. Begin working
on the lines below. We will analyze and memorize in class as well.
O, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name,
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy,
…O, be some other name!
What’s in a name! That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
