This 2-page organizer will help your students compare the play to the film.

How is the movie different?

After reading the play Romeo and Juliet, students will view the film and analyze the differences. This opens up a bunch of fun and critical-thinking conversation about why the film-makers would change parts of the play for the film. They are, after all, two different works of art.

Enjoy Romeo and Juliet!
