Romeo and Juliet Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet | Google Formats (PG - 1968)

This Romeo and Juliet Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG - 1968) enlivens Shakespeare’s famous classic and challenges students to analyze parts of the story that may otherwise be viewed and quickly forgotten. Explore and compare the flirtations and expressions of love between Romeo and Juliet and couples in today’s modern time. Ask students to determine what general lessons can be learned from the Prince’s final monologue and the ongoing, senseless war between the Capulets and Montagues.

Note: This movie guide is for the 1968, Zeffirelli film, NOT the 1996 Luhrmann film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. For the 2013 and 1996 movie guide versions of Romplease check out my store : )

This resource consists of 14 high-level, short answer reflection and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

  **CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

**Distance Learning Tips:

• Distribute the digital PDF file or the google forms version to each student
• Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
• Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
