Shakespeare can feel like a different language to students, and that can be a hindrance to them wanting to try. This activity is a great way to help them get more familiar with the language of the day when Romeo and Juliet was written.

Students will look at three columns of Romeo and Juliet vocabulary and combine them into some dashingly witty insults. And once they're having fun with that language, then we're ready to start reading Romeo and Juliet.

What's that, you say? You think we're peevish horn-mad jack-a-napes?

Watch it, we just might bite our thumbs at you! :)

Enjoy Romeo and Juliet!
