ROMEO AND JULIET Background Prezi and Prologue Activity

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND BACKGROUND

This Prezi includes multiple videos:

modern Shakespeare intro for students

Shakespeare biography

Stratford-upon-Avon

Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Globe

Verona

three ROMEO AND JULIET movie trailers

lark and nightingale singing (for Act III, Scene 1)

A worksheet is included for students to write the prologue, line by line, in modern language. Then you can show the PowerPoint that models this.

A second PowerPoint defines oxymoron and paradox and gives examples of each, some from ROMEO AND JULIET.

Although I created this for ROMEO AND JULIET, this has good background videos to introduce Shakespeare for any play!

Please save your own copy if you want to modify it so your changes don't affect mine. If you have any issues, let me know in a review comment and I can share with you through the Prezi site. ENJOY!
