This lesson plan is for a mixed ability 8th grade class studying Romeo and Juliet. The learning goal is for students to analyze Prince Escalus's speech and Romeo's imagery using a PEE (Point, Evidence, Explain) analysis. Students will work collaboratively to pick out quotes from the speech and write their own PEE paragraph with support. Formative assessment includes students selecting quotes and writing their own PEE paragraph. For homework, students must write a script for a modern feud show between the servants of the Capulets and Montagues using Shakespearean or modern insults, to be broken up by a Jeremy Kyle-like host.
