Title – Sewing for Romeo and Juliet

By – Lisa Allen

Primary Subject – Language Arts

Secondary Subjects – Language Arts

Grade Level – 5-9

After teaching Shakespeare, the Renaissance era and “Romeo and Juliet”, students form groups of four and choose a scene from the play. Subsequently, students

hand sew period style costumes onto Barbie dolls within their chosen scene. Once all costumes are designed, students work on designing a stage and present their chosen scene using their wonderfully costumed dolls! For an extension, you could use a digital video camera to tape the presentations and upload them sequentially into a class designed website on Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet! This is REALLY fun and has many educational benefits!
