Description
Class Experience
To gain a thorough understanding of the main themes and characters in 'Romeo and Juliet'.
I have three university degrees in literature - that's why I get to call myself 'Doctor' Radice. I've also taught literature for more than thirteen years in schools, to classes ranging from age nine to eighteen.
2 files available upon enrollmentI will provide a study guide with quiz questions and a textbook for the guiding writing activities. Other than that, students just need to bring paper and pen or pencil.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Informal assessment of understanding will take place during class. Students will also have the option of submitting their written work in order to receive individual feedback.
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
'Romeo and Juliet' contains some violent scenes of sword-fighting where Mercutio, Tybalt and Paris are killed, which may be disturbing for younger students. One of these (the scene where Romeo slays Paris) is the focus of the fifth lesson in this course. There is no grisly description, and a radio play will be used for the extract, so no blood will be seen by students.
