Yin-Yang Project:

Represent Romeo’s state oxymoronic state in Act I, scene I by creating your own yin-yang symbol.

Directions:
1. Chose one oxymoron from the following lines:
Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, Sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feels no love in this.

2. Find pictures on line, in newspapers, and magazines to represent each aspect of your chosen oxymoron. You can draw a yin-yang symbol and draw pictures that will fill the symbol. (if so, disregard part 3).

3. Create a Yin-Yang on paper and glue the pictures on this respected side.

TIPS
Fill each side with pictures but still keep shape of the Yin-Yang Symbol
Do not forget about the drops of white & black in each side of circle
Add color for more points
