Tragedy of
Romeo and Juliet
Directions:
1. Make double-sided copies of the first two
pages in this file. You’ll need one per student.
2. Make single-sided copies of page 4. Again,
one per student.
3. Be sure you also have scissors and glue
sticks available for students to use.
4. After reading and discussing the play, break
the students into teams of two or three. Have
them sit together.
5. Distribute one double-sided sheet and
one sheet of the pictures to each student. The
students then need to clip out the pictures and
place them in the correct order (see the KEY
on page 5). For fun, I don’t allow students to
use their plays for this part of the activity. They
need to try to sort from memory. When student
teams think they have the correct order, I come
around the room and spot check them. Once
given the “green-light,” students then glue
their pictures in place. Warn students that they
should not glue until they’ve been approved.
6. After the students have completed the first
side, have them flip the page to Side 2 and
follow the directions. For this part, they will use
their copies of the play, of course.
This activity, which usually takes a full 45
minutes (slower students will likely need to
finish the Side 2 part as homework), is an
excellent review activity. Later, the students
can cut the grid apart and they’ll have handy
flashcards to use for quiz/test preparation.
