Useful 12 slide presentation which defines what 'empathetic' is, guides students through the best ways to structure and approach the task and shows them some examples of good and bad practice. Goes well with several writing genres, such as letters or diaries. Please see my other worksheets for clear tasks on 'a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' and 'Juliet's Diary before taking the potion'. Fun way to introduce KS3 or 4 students to this writing style.
Two full, detailed slide shows, with tasks,. Resource one introduces the text and offers an overview. Two explores concepts of villainy and stereotyping.
Good thorough introductory PowerPoint, two-sided worksheet, annotated speeches and a planer, unannotated copy of the speech. This helps students come to their own opinions and find features themselves before they are given the 2-sided handout and annotated speech, which has far more detail. This pack also contains a very handy pdf fie about language features used by Henry in both this key scene and throughout the play, which is great for their revision. This all sets up the adaptive writing task well and guides students through this great activity. Ideal for them to complete as homework and, later, read out to their own ‘band of brothers’, their classmates.
Varied set of resources including:
1) A guide to what empathetic writing is, with lots of clear slides showing how to plan the task, write convincingly and in the right style.
2) Thorough 'Write a diary for Juliet' worksheet
3) Anonymous marked sample student response to this task to give teachers an idea of what works well in practice
4) 'Write a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' worksheet task.
The students like the tasks as once they understand what's needed from the slides, they can get involved in some of the most dramatic scenes in the play. Popular choices for Juliet are just before she takes the potion. Popular Romeo choices are when he is in turmoil during his Mantua exile and writes back to the Friar. There are obviously lots of possibilities, so you could adapt it very well - and the work makes fr great classroom displays.
