A worksheet which has questions about the witches and their importance in each of the scenes in which they appear
This is great for a step by step approach to the supernatural and can be used to structure an essay type question.
This activity takes place at two points in the reading of the play.
Sheet 1 is completed when students have just read the party scene. They
can work in pairs to discuss what they think each character is expecting
from the party eg Romeo doesn't want to go , but his friends persuade him
and he hopes he may see Rosaline.
It can also lead into a discussion of predictions about what may happen
The second sheet makes them see how the party leads to a chain of events
unfolding as they fill in what happens eg Tybalt recognise Romeo , swears
revenge etc
