Samantha Ross has planned a 5-day unit on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for her 9th grade English class of 22 students from diverse backgrounds. The unit objectives are for students to analyze how the Globe Theater design influenced Shakespeare's plays, closely read all 5 acts of Romeo and Juliet, and discuss modern relationships. Each day focuses on different acts and activities like podcasts, essays, and a virtual Globe tour to help students make connections. On the last day, students will perform and film modern adaptations of acts for YouTube and complete other technology-based assignments.
