We are doing a newspaper project on Romeo and Juliet, and I need ideas for ads/advertisements.

This assignment takes some creative thinking by remembering events and items in the story.  Here are a few ideas:

• An advertisement for the Capulet ball; a dress shop selling gowns for the ball


• A catering service for the ball


• An advertisement for Friar Lawrence’s sleeping potion or a want ad for the ingredients in it.


• A job wanted ad for the Nurse


• A used sword shop; knife shop


• A funeral home ad


• A messenger service that will deliver important news (other than the Nurse)


• Jewelry shop for a wedding ring.

Try to be creative and find items that are unusual. For example, think about the Capulet ball.  That’s how I came up with the three ideas by putting a “spin” on what would be needed by the people going to the ball or putting on the ball.  Think outside the box for interesting ideas.
