Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Play Map (KS4)

A clear, visual 1-page map of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ to help students (and teachers) find their way round. Part of a range which will cover all KS4 and KS5 Shakespeare plays.

My A Level tutees wanted something which would:

• make it easy to find key events (eg major speeches, conflicts, deaths). This was apparently very useful for revision, too;
• clearly show them who was on stage and when (useful for analysing character arcs and relationships); and
• give them a better sense of the ‘shape’ of the play via a graph. Using this, they were able to more easily think of the text as a ‘performance’, and add an extra dimension to their understanding and analysis

Using this resource: my tutees have ended up printing two copies of their versions:

• one for their files; and
• one folded and stuck into the cover of their copy of the play

We are also using it as the starting point for of discussion for several sessions (example - the presentation of women, superstition, the relationship between key characters).

This resource was developed in Spring 2024. I’d love to hear from you how it could be improved for 2025 - feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
