This is an 8-page literary essay packet that goes along with Romeo and Juliet (however it can be substituted with any other piece of literature).
The basis of the essay is interpreting a quote and relating it to the novel. The students spend a day choosing and thinking about their quote. The following days are spent drafting their essay.
The packet is very organized and allows students to move at their own pace.
