Romeo and Juliet empathetic student responses bundle

Varied set of resources including:
1) A guide to what empathetic writing is, with lots of clear slides showing how to plan the task, write convincingly and in the right style.
2) Thorough 'Write a diary for Juliet' worksheet
3) Anonymous marked sample student response to this task to give teachers an idea of what works well in practice
4) 'Write a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' worksheet task.
The students like the tasks as once they understand what's needed from the slides, they can get involved in some of the most dramatic scenes in the play. Popular choices for Juliet are just before she takes the potion. Popular Romeo choices are when he is in turmoil during his Mantua exile and writes back to the Friar. There are obviously lots of possibilities, so you could adapt it very well - and the work makes fr great classroom displays.
