Romeo and Juliet Unit Portfolio Presentation Penny Archer
Unit Summary Students read Romeo and Juliet and relate it to contemporary life. They research a problem from the play that is still an issue today and collaborate to find a solution. They create a publication or presentation about their solution and share it with an audience.
CFQs Essential Question: Is there such a thing as fate? Unit Question: Why is Romeo and Juliet a classic? Content Questions: What is the Globe Theater? Who are the characters in Romeo and Juliet?
Vision for Unit By creating this unit, I want to l Try out new methods to make classic literature relevant to my students’ lives l Think of ways to involve my students more in the community During this unit, I want my students to l Learn ways to connect classic literature to their daily lives l Use technology to communicate with different audiences
Project Approaches As my students work on this project, they ● ● Connect the play to the real world Collaborate with peers and community members Create a product that shows what they’ve learned Share their learning with a real audience
21 st Century Learning Students will develop higher-order and 21 st century skills in this unit as they ● Use the Essential and Unit Questions to guide their analysis of the play to find themes that cross places and times ● Communicate their ideas to a community audience ● Reflect on their reading, writing, research, and thinking strategies, and modify and adapt them as necessary ● Use project assessments to self-assess their work and give feedback to their peers
Gauging Student Needs Assessments Use CFQs to learn • Students’ ideas about what a “classic” is • Background knowledge of characters and plot of play Assess 21 st Century skills • Ability to see common elements in classic and contemporary literature
Gauging Student Needs Assessments I can use the information from these assessments to: • Focus on parts of the play that students have prior misconceptions about • Plan activities in which they will answer their questions Students can use the information from these assessments to: • Compare their questions to those in previous units • Set goals for how they will adjust their reading style for this kind of literature
Requests for Feedback l Need ways to help students understand the play without paraphrasing and summarizing it for them l Need help assessing students’ higher-order thinking skills
