Romeo & Juliet Lesson 27: Act 4 - Lesson Plan

The Lesson Plan for Lesson 27 on 'Romeo and Juliet' aims to assess students' prior knowledge of the iconic Shakespearean tragedy. The learning objective is clear: to evaluate the students' understanding of the play's plot and characters. This is to be achieved through interactive activities such as feedback sessions, mind mapping, and the creation of a theatre poster. The lesson is structured to enable students to demonstrate their grasp of the play at varying levels of depth, from a basic knowledge to a detailed understanding that encompasses plot, characters, and themes.

Accommodating different learning styles and abilities, the lesson plan includes differentiation opportunities. Teachers are encouraged to edit the PowerPoint presentation as needed and to tailor the tasks to suit the class. They can also strike a balance between providing guidance and encouraging independent learning. The lesson commences with a brief starter activity, where students engage in a discussion about what they know of 'Romeo and Juliet'. The main teaching activity is divided into creating and discussing mind maps, followed by a theatre poster design task, with an extension option to write a press release. The lesson concludes with a plenary where volunteers present their posters, and the class engages in discussion and offers constructive feedback.
