Romeo and Juliet Lesson Observation
Lesson plans, PPT and resources to support an observation based around the play Romeo and Juliet.
Includes a lead in lesson for the day before observation.
TEACHER FOCUS: Reading Comprehension Skills-using the text as evidence to support ideas regarding characters.
KEY LO: To write in a way which shows children understand a key Shakespearean character and a particular time period.
Children will create a lonely heart advert for Romeo. Writing produced was great and the children really enjoyed the task. Can provide evidence for greater depth writing as the children can shift between formality at the beginning and later in the advert.
