Today's English language learning class will focus on Romeo and Juliet. Students will compare and contrast two characters, watch a clip from Act 2 Scene 2 and do a listening activity, and make a prediction about Act 2 Scene 4 before reading it. They will choose two characters to compare, watch a video clip twice with different listening focuses, and use their knowledge so far to predict the next scene.
