Two schemes of work on this Shakespeare classic: one for KS3 and one for GCSE . The KS3 scheme comprises 14 lessons tracking key themes and characters before concluding with assessments on how either Tybalt or Romeo’s characters are presented. The GCSE SOW is aimed at EDUQAS but can easily be tweaked for other exam boards. It has plenty of language analysis as pupils are guided in their reading/ analysis of key scenes throughout the play.

The whole play adapted for teenagers who want a fun alternative to the original language. We keep the key quotes as they are but make the rest accessible and fun. Check out how we rewrite 1.5 when Tybalt spots Romeo eating all the Pringles: TYBALT: Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe, A villain that is here come in spite, To ruin our party and ruin this night. CAPULET: Young Romeo is it? TYBALT: 'Tis he, that villain Romeo. CAPULET: Leave him alone; I’ve heard he’s quite a nice guy really. What’s the worst that could happen? TYBALT: I’m gonna kill him, that’s what’s gonna happen When such a villain is a guest: I’ll not endure him. CAPULET: He shall be endured: Am I the master here, or you? Shut your face. You’ll not endure him? You’ll ruin my party if you fight! TYBALT: Please uncle, what if he eats all the Pringles? CAPULET: You are a saucy boy: Be quiet, or I’ll make you quiet. TYBALT: OK Uncle, I’ll leave it for now. I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall. Want to order this script as a class set of books?
