Instructional Ideas

  • Have a class member prepare a masterful reading of the prologue to Romeo and Juliet

Classroom Considerations

  • The 20-lesson unit, the third in a module of three, builds on the protocols and routines established in the first unit
  • The first in a 20-lesson unit that uses Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as an anchor text

Pros

  • The 11-page resource includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed in the lesson, the plan, a vocabulary list, discussion questions with model responses, a Quick Write prompt, and a homework assignment

Cons

  • Class members may be challenged by the sameness in the format of all the lessons in the three-unit module

Common Core

RL.9-10.1 RL.9-10.4
