Standards
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.
Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.

Really useful resource introducing PEE to students. I would probably develop this and introduce a practice activity i.e. giving students the points or the explanations and getting them to do the rest. However, this is a good resource and could be incorporated into any unit of work to support the teaching of Romeo and Juliet. Thanks for sharing this resource.
