Romeo and Juliet each have soliloquies throughout the play where they speak their minds by themselves. How would you portray these scenes? Record yourself with a camera acting out one of the soliloquies from the play. You can upload the video to YouTube or share it with me to present to the class.

Reading Shakespeare can be challenging due to the words and syntax he used. LitCharts has a translation into modern English of Act One, Scene One. After reading the translation, choose a different scene and create your own translation into modern English. Feel free to use slang or any currently common words.

Using your phone camera or another device, go outside and take photos of various objects, architecture, and other similar things that relate to the play. (For example, roses and flowers are common symbols). With each photo, write a brief summary of the photo and its significance/what it represents.
