SEND Romeo and Juliet Full SOW (modern language)

This is a 21-lesson scheme of work designed for KS4 SEND children on Romeo and Juliet. There is some Shakespearean language but for the vast majority, it is all translated. All lessons are differentiated/have challenge opportunities. My students are predominantly ASD so there is an increased focus on understanding feelings and some reference to the Zones of Regulation. It will work for your lower level students who need more age-appropriate material too.

For most lessons, there is a more straightforward PowerPoint in supplement to the other for those classes who need simpler language/themes. These are labelled C10. Most worksheets are at the end of the PowerPoints, ready to print.

All lessons are very visual, highly engaging have a range of writing activities, including my personal favourite resource I’ve ever made…Tudor dating app profiles for matching couples of the corresponding classes!

There is a bonus stage combat lesson too, which was very fun but might not be suitable for all learners/settings.

For Lesson 2, I used this fantastic resource from TES for the insults: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/shakespearean-insult-generator-11555694
