Today’s lesson focuses on learning about the life of William Shakespeare and then finding out about the plot and themes in one of his most famous plays: Romeo and Juliet.
Work through the videos and tasks on the BBC Daily Lesson.
Make notes about the life of Shakespeare – your notes do not have to be in full sentences, but you need to be able to read them to help you with the activity of sequencing key events in Shakespeare’s life.

Main task:
Option 1: pick a bit of the story that you found interesting and retell it in your own words.
Option 2: write a newspaper report describing the events at the end of the play:

At the ending of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet fakes her death and lies in a tomb waiting for Romeo so they can run away together. Romeo doesn’t receive the message, so thinks Juliet has actually died. He goes to Verona and sees Juliet in her tomb, thinking she is dead. He drinks poison and she wakes up to discover Romeo is dead. Juliet kills herself with his dagger.
