This lesson plan is for a mixed ability Year 8 class studying Romeo and Juliet. The learning objective is for students to perform the balcony scene by using scripts they wrote in the previous lesson. Students will practice their scripts in pairs and perform them for the class. Their performances will be formatively assessed based on feedback about what went well and could be improved. The cognitive challenge is for students to use appropriate voice, tone, and pauses to portray their characters when performing. Students will collaborate by acting in pairs.
