Romeo and Juliet: The Prologue

An activity focusing on the language of the prologue and an accompanying powerpoint. Learners are given a list of keywords from the prologue and the prologue itself, and are firstly asked to define them from their own knowledge. Then they watch a video clip of it being read aloud and can change their definition if they want. Thirdly, they look at a modern translation and can alter their definition again. The powerpoint also has further activities based on the prologue, its purpose and effect.
