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 An assessment task (which I have purposefully left open to your own interpretation but you can follow my guide) 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 There are also bonus revising of quotes games of Articulate and Connect Four.
