Romeo & Juliet Lesson 21: Got the Plot? - PowerPoint

In this PowerPoint lesson from Teacher-of-Primary.com, the objective is to reinforce the students' understanding of the plot of "Romeo and Juliet" Act Two. The lesson, titled "Got the Plot?", encourages students to delve deeper into the narrative of Shakespeare's classic tragedy. It begins with a summary exercise where students are tasked with completing the story of Act Two by filling in the missing words. This interactive approach helps to ensure that they have grasped the key events of the act, such as Romeo sneaking into the orchard, the couple's exchange of vows, and their secret wedding officiated by Friar Laurence, who cautions them to "love moderately".

Further engagement with the material is encouraged through a creative task that asks students to create a comic strip version of Act Two. This activity not only allows for a recap of the plot but also promotes artistic expression and storytelling skills. By visualising the secret visit of Romeo to Juliet, students can explore the dramatic and romantic elements of the play in a format that is both accessible and entertaining. This blend of summary completion and artistic creation makes for a dynamic and comprehensive review of the critical plot points in "Romeo and Juliet".
