Romeo and Juliet: A Masterpiece by Shakespeare

Process

1) Assign jobs to each member in the group so that everyone is responsible for one or more parts of the task.

2) Research information for your posters or power points. Print only the things you need. Take notes from the Internet whenever possible, instead of printing. You will need to cite source for ANY information you use that is not your own.

3) Decide what else you need: drawings, pictures, music. Try to be creative.

4) Remember to give a title to your work.

5) Practise your oral presentation and be prepared to answer questions.

6) Those of you who are going to perform the play learn your dialogue by heart and try to represent the way those people lived and their feelings according to what you have already learnt about Elizabethan England.

7) Here are some Internet resources you may use for your research. Feel free to use other websites to look for the information you need.
