Designed for the classroom, this resource book (spiral bound for easy
photocopying) contains activities and exercises to help the teaching of
Romeo & Juliet.
Although it was designed to be used alongside the Romeo & Juliet
graphic novels, it can be used with any version of the play.
It includes a broad range of topics including: structure, listening,
understanding, motivation and character as well as key words, themes and
literary techniques.
The exercises have been approached from a cross-curriculum perspective
so that they cover not only literature and literacy, but also history,
technology, drama, reading, speaking, writing and art.
The age range is 10 to 17, but of course within that span exists a broad
spectrum of skill levels. Therefore, this study guide includes
activities for all, providing many opportunities for differentiated
teaching and for the tailoring of lessons to meet individual needs.
Examples of some of the activities include:
Background
Character
Language
Understanding the play
Drama/Art
and many more...
A CD is included that contains the pages in PDF format so that they can
be used on any whiteboard or local intranet system.
