I created an Edexcel GCSE scheme of work that you could use to teach low ability or attainment target students of Grade 4-5. There are 30 lessons in total: 1 lesson on the context of Shakespeare and the Globe theatre 25 lessons on the plot, characters and extracts of the play 3 lessons on the recurring themes of love, conflict and fate 1 lesson on debate as to who is to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet This also includes: Storyboard of each Act with scenes template Themes quote bank board for students to fill Character profiles for students’ revision to fill You do not need to read the play. Only the extracts provided and mentioned in the lessons! This will hugely break down the students’ understanding of the play and help them focus on characters, themes, quotes, plot and language.
