**This is an Outschool FLEX version of a course I have taught homeschooled teens**
Romeo and Juliet was one of Shakespeare's first plays and it can be argued that it is his best play.
On the surface this play seems to be about two lovesick, over-emotional teenagers.
But it is much, much more.
This play is about:
A family feud that isn't a feud
An unreligious friar who speaks in sonnets and sidelines as an herbalist
A cousin with anger problems
A bestie who runs his mouth
A friend who always plays peacemaker
A teenage girl who knows what she wants
A young man who learns what real love is
And a plague.
In this FLEX course, learners will watch an introductory video to each section of the play.
They will read as they listen to an audio version of the play, offer initial thoughts from each section and participate in a discussion after a second video.
Learners will also complete a few additional activities to enhance their knowledge of Shakespeare.
Through these video lectures, readings, discussion and activities:
We will form opinions of the major characters in the beginning and see if our assumptions pan out as the play goes on.
We will watch clips of important parts of the play and decide which versions were true to the play.
We will discuss minor characters (Shakespeare never did anything without a purpose)
Try our hand at Shakespearean insults.
We will marvel at the beauty of the language and learn about iambic pentameter and sonnet form.
We will discuss what flaws, if any, the characters have.
We will ask "What if?" to see how events could have changed and been prevented.
A syllabus of the class reading schedule is available to download.

Learners will become familiar with the story of Romeo and Juliet. They will grow accustomed to the language and its nuances. They will learn about sonnet form and iambic pentameter. They will follow the development of characters and plot. Learners will bridge the gap between a play that is read versus a play that is watched.
其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
I will be showing clips of various parts of the play in the video portion of this class. Students will also be directed to watch clips on their own. I will preview each clip and choose the ones that are appropriate for young viewers. Also Shakespeare being Shakespeare, this play was meant for an adult audience and references to sex are present throughout the play (Usually from the Nurse and Mercutio). Having taught this to a live group of teens I am sure the references will be obscure.

來源
Students can listen to this play for free online at librivox.org. They can also read the play for free at the gutenberg project website. I will provide links to both in the first class. I will use YouTube for video clips of the play. I will also send links to pdfs in the classroom. If students wish to have a hard copy of the book, previous students have found the No Fear Shakespeare version to be helpful as it has the original version of the play on one side of the page and a modern retelling on the other. These are available to purchase from Amazon for about $5.00.

My expertise in Shakespeare spans back to the 1990s when I studied Shakespeare in college which culminated in a trip to London where we watched many of the plays. Currently a group of homeschooled teens gather at my house each week as we explore a play together. I also have 20 years of teaching Shakespeare to my own large family.
