Romeo and Juliet- Act 1 Scene 2 (Capulet and Paris) WHOLE LESSON and worksheet KS3 KS4

Lesson Overview

• Starter question/ quick activity to get the students thinking about language/imagery in the scene.

• Questions alongside the text to check understanding and develop interpretations of characters/plot/themes.

• Worksheet for students to record their own ideas/points raised in class discussion.

• Personal response question with sentence starters ‘What are your impressions of Lord Capulet and Paris in this scene?’

• Group activity: differentiated questions and extracts are discussed, students feedback to the rest of the class.

• EXIT Card plenary- students quickly jot down their opinion of Lord Capulet and whether they agree with the critical interpretation ‘Juliet is regarded as little more than a precious possession to her father’. (this can then be discussed as the starter next lesson)

• Homework task: to research an Elizabethan Masquerade Ball/ banquet and design a formal invitation for the Capulet’s to send to their guests.
