Juliet writing a letter to her mother lesson

This is a lesson where students reflect on what they have learned about Juliet so far in the play (it can fit into many schemes of work at any point up until the part of the play where Tybalt kills Mercutio). They consider Juliet’s thoughts and feelings about each event in her life so far. They then use these ideas to write a letter from Juliet to her mother, explaining how she feels about her arranged marriage to Paris, why she wants to marry Romeo and why her marriage to Romeo could be a good way to prevent the feud. Ends with peer assessment of one another’s letters.
