Title – Romeo and Juliet in the Spotlight

By – Brooke Burks

Primary Subject – Language Arts

Secondary Subjects – Language Arts

Grade Level – 9

After reading Romeo and Juliet, divide students into four groups. Each group will have a different activity:

1. Live with Regis and Kelly — This group chooses two anchorpersons who will interview 2 or 3 people who were close to the victims (Romeo and Juliet). The group must include commercials, theme music, backdrop, and entertainment for the 15 minute show. This group takes a sentimental look at what happened between the feuding families and how that feud led to the deaths of two young lovers.

2. Entertainment Tonight — This group chooses two anchorpersons who will interview 2 or 3 people who may or may not be close to the victims. This group must also include commercials, theme music, backdrop, and entertainment for the 15 minute show. This group takes a scandalous view of what happened. They are digging for the “dirt” on these two lovers. Students may stretch the truth here a bit.

3. TIME Magazine — This is for the non-performers. This group will produce a TIME magazine with Romeo and Juliet as the cover story. They must also include other news stories and advertisements.

4. 3-D Scene — Another non-performing group. Students will create a DETAILED 3-D scene from the play. Students may choose any scene.
