meeting they will present an adaptation of their
favorite part in the scenes presented. Their role
play will revolve on the “Modern” Romeo and
Juliet. They are expected to deviate from the
presented strip since they will be performing
the scenes based on their own interpretations.
3. Across the Curriculum
The teacher will ask the students to relate this
verse on their lesson about Romeo and Juliet.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy
or boast; it is not arrogant or rude… Love
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things.”

very strong poison. He goes to

poison, and dies. When Juliet
wakes up she finds Romeo
laying next to her. She is so sad
that she takes his dagger and
kills herself.
 When the Montagues and the
Capulets learn what happened
with their children they agree to
end the years of fighting.
Theme:

by the playwright and spoken by
the characters in the play. The
dialogue helps move the action
of the play along.

 While music is often featured in
drama, in this case Aristotle was
referring to the rhythm of the
actors' voices as they speak.

of a play: sets, costumes, special
effects, etc. Spectacle is
everything that the audience sees
as they watch the play.

someone coming from his enemy’s family.

share their opinions about the love that Romeo

though their love happened in the story before,
other persons still feel it.
