ROMEO AND JULIET UNIT PLAN
Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies. This comprehensive unit contains everything you will need to not only teach Romeo and Juliet, but also to keep the students engaged! I have used this unit with my students with great success, and I hope it will make your life easier if you have been given the task to teach this play.
