Our final unit of the year will be William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. A variety of movies, television shows and even songs have been based on the story of Romeo and Juliet.
In this unit we will explore the world of William Shakespeare and his plays. I have added two updated links to help you as we begin this exploration. The first is Sparknotes.com which can help with understanding the play and its elements. Sparknotes provides summaries and explanations of acts, characters, and important quotes. The second site is No Fear Shakespeare. This site will provide you with a side by side “translation” of the play from its original Elizabethan English text to a Modern English text.
