              Merchant of Venice Quizzes, Close Reading Worksheets, Vocabulary Games, and Test
This low-prep bundle helps high school students navigate William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and participate more meaningfully in class discussions. Included are the following: five plot-based quizzes (one per Act), five vocabulary application activities (one per Act), five crossword puzzles (one per Act), five word search games (one per Act), twenty close reading analysis activities (one per scene), one end-of-unit test, and answer keys for everything. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. (Alternatively, a Google Drive option is available.) By engaging with these materials, students will:
- Read for literal comprehension 
- Determine the meanings of unfamiliar and archaic words 
- Consult reference materials in order to learn and verify word meanings 
- Discern the most proper application of words as they are used in sentences 
- Infer the intended effects of the author's stylistic choices and dramatic techniques 
- Describe tone in context 
- Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact 
- Compare and contrast characters (Antonio and Shylock; Portia and Antonio; Jessica and Portia) 
- Consider the motif of the guest-host relationship and argue whether Portia conforms to the expectations of a good host, or whether she fails to meet expectations and represents a bad host 
- Apply knowledge of literary devices with emphasis on metaphor, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, allusion, personification, symbolism, invective, euphemism, juxtaposition, hyperbole situational irony, and dramatic irony 
- Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence 
- Write about Shakespearean drama with clarity, accuracy, and precision 
- Come to class better prepared to discuss dramatic works 
This resource may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.
Materials are available for teaching a variety of Shakespeare's plays:
