Romeo and Juliet

A WebQuest
for English as a Foreign Language
Introduction / Task / Process / Evaluation / Conclusion / Teacher's Notes



Introduction

Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers ever in history, but you don't know much about him or about his work. When you finish this WebQuest you will be able to say a lot about him and his well-known play "Romeo and Juliet"

You are male and female young actors that are going to take part in a competition to celebrate St. Valentine's Day. The competition has been organized by the English teachers in your school and in it you'll have to perform your version of the play "Romeo and Juliet".

Before you enter the competition, to understand this tragedy and to help you play your character as best as you can, you are going to do some research about Shakespeare, his time and the story of Romeo and Juliet.

First you will work in groups of three: a biographer, a literary critic and an art reporter. And later you will work in groups of six actors.

You are really excited about getting a prize in the competition. So, do your best to make sure you learn a lot and you are one of the winners.
