Pictures of the Romeo and Juliet characters from the Baz Luhrrman film. I used them to help learners get to grips with who each character was. They organised the characters into Montagues/Capulets/Neither then glued them in their books in the groups. Underneath the pictures they wrote key details about each character. Could be used as a revision exercise or to explore relationships between characters.

A worksheet for use in the classroom when learners are watching a film as part of their studies. The sheet helps them to focus on specific aspects of the film rather then becoming immersed in the plot and supports them in the making of useful notes. This sheet is also very useful when it comes to the end of term and you want to show a film but don't want learners (or passing colleagues!) to think they've been given a free lesson. Works well as A4 but even better when blown up to A3.
