Have an ongoing "Reading Response Journal" where students will write different responses to the reading.
A unit narrated by the teacher
First, I will prepare for students a brief summary of the play to familiarize them with the story. After reading it, we will work on our bulletin board named
Verona, and the students will create pictures of the city and the characters for the
board. The bulletin board will be used from now on to add all the new information we will learn throughout the next couple of weeks. Students will add
the different places the action is taking place, character traits, and the different personality of the characters as they appear.
The next step will be to complete a character web chart in which students add
the relationship among them. Characters’ names are in the web but students need
to complete the relationship between the character and some important details.
