Lesson 10 : S&L Coursework - Roleplay

As part of your GCSE course, you will be assessed for your speaking & listening in different areas: 

Role-play

Discussion

Individual Presentation

The task you will do related to Romeo & Juliet is one of the following role-play tasks. As they involve discussion, this will also be assessed where possible.

1. Take part in a trial of Friar Lawrance. You will be a defence attorney or prosecution, a witness or a character. Materials here. (Ignore the Nurse's trial part.)
2. Romeo goes to Mercutio to ask for his advice about what he can do about Juliet after the balcony scene. With a partner, one is Romeo and one is Mercutio. Act out the conversation and record it using your Mac. The conversation should reflect what you know about the characters.

Lesson 9: CA Preparation

In this lesson you will think about how to plan your essay for the play of Romeo and Juliet. Remember the question: 


'How is the character of your choice presented and developed through the play? You may choose to focus on this character in relation to a particular theme or idea in the play and should show your knowledge of the play as a whole.'

It is assumed that you have already watched at least one other version of Romeo and Juliet in addition to the Lurhmann version.
